My routine always goes something like this:
Step One:
I almost always have to start my car twice because I always lock my glove box before getting out of the car and then when I get back into the car I always forget to unlock it again until after the car has been started...
Step Two:
The second thing I do after the car has been shut off the first time due to the explanation in step one is reach into the secret compartment and grab the H&K .45 and stuff it down near the passenger seat for easy access just in case some one tries to get what's mine.
Step Three:
After the car has warmed up to 2 bars minimum (AP1) I always pump the brake and clutch pedals 5 or 6 times before releasing the ebrake to pull out of my parking spot. I also row through all the gears at least twice before pulling away.
When ever a passenger was in the car I always make sure that I reconnect the seatbelt so it doesn't rattle against the door panel the next time I drive off.

How about while in first gear rev the engine to around 7K without looking at the tach, (just by ear and feel) and dump the clutch... then when the tires stop spinning, powershift thru 2nd at 9k ... Oh yeah sometimes I wash the brake calipers and freq if there are bugs on the bumper.... Jekyll & Hide

1. Heel-Toe/ Rev Match ALWAYS regardless...i just love it 
2. The, forget the glove box is locked after starting the car thing. Like always
3. Feel all the tires after spirited driving...
4. Put the top down everytime i go somewhere, regardless of the distance.
5. Cup holder and Radio doors always closed.
6. On this one road on my way home from work, its like a time trial, I cant help but set a new "fast lap"
7. Talk to the car about anything.
8. When shuting the car off: Climate Con. all off, Radio volume at 3 bars, steering wheel must be straight....
9. Alignment like every month (being a mechanic at NTB=free)
10. Admire it while walking away everytime.
There is more but I can't remember.

-when parallel parking i never back in far enough for fear of curb rash

I intentionally concentrate when shifting to shift as fast and clean as possible, and immediately get my right hand back on the steering wheel (a la racing technique).
I swerve to avoid bumps in the road.
On really cold mornings, to allow more warm up time in my driveway, I'll check tire pressures while she's warming up. Bear in mind, I do that to let the car warmup, while I'm walking around outside freezing my nuggets off.
On really nice days, I'll put the toneau cover on. Top down always HARDCORE!
