its funny cause i asked my roommate to go out and start the car while i took a piss and when i came out i thought the car would be running and he was sitting there like a monkey doing a math problem trying to start it by turning the key. i ask him what was wrong and he goes "i dunno i have the clutch pushed in and the key wont go past on." i go look on the left side of the wheel. he says oh.

funny part wasw is he has started the car a few times before

 

 

 

Sorry but I just cannot believe this is true.

If it's true I'm not sure it would be funny; sad maybe?

 

 

Well as bad as this is... At least you didn't put the key in and say "Engine Start!" because that button is meant to be pushed. Sad indeed.

 

I think the OP rides the shortbus, not you.

 

The exact opposite happens to me. Whenever I'm driving anyone else's car, I turn the key twice, then turn whatever switch is on the left. I've turned on cruise controls, headlights, dashboard light dimmers, windshield wipers, and the list goes on.

 

I did the same thing my first time at the gas station. However, I think even if I didn't drive the car for a year, the push button start wouldn't be a problem. The gas door release knob isn't a bright red button right in front of your face.
