Anyone ever disconnect the fuel pump fuse and then crank a few times before actually starting the S? Maybe that'll build up enough oil pressure to lubricate the crank bearings before the car starts.

I might bring mine out tomorrow. The roads don't look that salty.

you really don't need to do that unless the engine was freshly rebuilt. Like Jeggy said there's a film of oil that stays on the metal after you shut the engine off so there's no metal to metal contact unless you had no/low oil pressure prior to you shutting down.
