Default What finger do you use......

to hit the start button?
think about it for a second before you answer... i did a bit today and started paying attention - i use the middle finger cause i just kinda reach in that direction and that's the first one that hits it. do you make a point to use your thumb or forefinger? yeah i was bored today, but still... which one do you use?

ALWAYS my index finger. Uneducated passengers who ride with me in the car always call me a "showoff" for using the button to start the car, thinking that it can also be started using the conventional turning of the key in the ignition.

The real thing to remember -- for me anyways -- is *NOT* to use any finger when I'm driving my wife's '01 Dodge Ram diesel 4x4 Couple times since I've had my S, I've had to jump up into her truck & drive it (screwy especially at night!) to one place or another...and I'll spend a half a flippin' minute turning the key over only two clicks and then mashing my finger into the dashboard on the left side of the truck's steering wheel.

BTW, when I am in my Spa, I typically fire her up using my index finger.
