I highly recommend you consider my startup sequence instead -- press m1 after turning on ignition before starting car and tap throttle. It will start with flaps open... very satisfying! It will do an even better job at annoying anyone in your garage!

Nope! For some weird reason I love to listen to the cold start. I think it sounds awesome!

[Aaaaaaaaa]

Here's my shutdown sequence:
1. Idle for a bit to let the turbos cool
2. Put in 1st gear
3. Press engine stop button
4. Windshield sunshade on if sunny
5. Seat memory button 2 for comfort exit
6. Fold mirrors
7. Unlock all doors (because my work stuff is in the back seat)
8. Press engine start/stop button again to shut down everything.
9. Put away sunglasses if wearing
10. Get out and check the position of car. Ugh too close to one side
11. Get back in car
12. Reverse all steps 1-9
13. Repeats all steps 1–9
14. Be 30 mins late for work.

Never. Too much wear on leather. I literally hold my body up somehow until I can plop in with minimal friction or touch any of part of the seat to minimize wear/tear. I have a certain disdain for worn seat leather and shiny steering wheels. Filthy.

Press start button, put in reverse, depress gas pedal. Once backed onto stree and moving through the sub, I put on seat belt and adjust audio, climate and car settings as desired.

3. Wait for the attendant to pull the car to the bottom of the ramp (the garage is in the basement of my building).
4. The attendant gets out, I get in and pull out of the garage.
5. Hit the M1 button (every thing is set to the softest settings)
6. Get out of the city ASAP.

Do you have to tip him ever time you drive your car?

Once I enter:
1- hit the "memory 2" button for my seat
2- toggle my shifter to make sure its in neutral (even if it clearly is)
3- push start (clutch first of course)
4- turn on Spotify
5- seatbelt
6- pull out
7- hit "M1" - All set to "sport", DSC on

can you see track list and album cover photo when you connect the spotify via bluetooth?

Open door
Hit start/M button
Grab my nuts
Look in rear view mirror. Wink at myself.
Say, “I’m the man..”
Pop collar
Burn out my driveway for an awesome day.
