I wait for the six beeps to stop. Sometimes there aren't six, and sometimes there are none. Strange. Anyway, I always wait until the beeping has ended.

I turn the key and look around. If anyone is watching, I put my right hand on the top of the windshield and push the start button with my left.

What? Me, a snob? Naaaaaaah!

i used to wait but now i just start it up without waiting. sometimes i want to see the whole tach sweep from 9 > 0 but more often than not, i find myself in a rush to start the car.
