Transmission is slow on startup (especially when cold) so the first shift always takes a while to engage, and I have to watch the lights to see if I still have enough coolant (fun leak)

Some people claimed that one of those stop-leak/stop-slip transmission treatment will help, maybe you should give it a try.
I did, this buddy is too far gone, 3rd gear practically doesn't exist

My mother will sit in the car and watch at least three tiktoks before starting the car and before getting out .
Starting Spotify and syncing it with Android Auto
Leaning in, starting the car, hitting the garage door button, putting stuff in, grabbing ice scraper, begrudgingly pondering why I had to get another car that's currently in the garage, parked where if my running one was it would not need scraping.
I get in:
- seat belt
- turn on car
- fix phone stuff
- fix temperature and/or windows open/close
- make sure seat/mirrors are good to go
- jam to music
- then cautiously head out and drive
Waiting for my old phone to get ready to navigate and play music
Not often this is the case, but when it is; it's always "fuck my seatbelt got stuck, let me pull it slowly"
Setting up music, navigation, and letting it defrost
Reflecting on how ironic it would be for a deer to crash a car into a human crossing the road for a change.
if it's winter and really cold I'll let the car run for a bit before going. also have to clear ice/snow off the car sometimes too.
Responding to this post, can't comment and drive

Contemplating existence
I wait for my car to idle for a few seconds because the dealer told me to. The “cold engine” light turns off and then I’m good to go.
Depends. I drive a hybrid and live on top of a hill so my routine is set up to try and keep the engine off until I hit flat land and go above 30 mph. Typically that means plug in and set up my phone, buckle in, turn car in, and slowly cruise out of there with no delay. I don't really want the engine warming up until it actually needs to run.
Buckle up and check the dashboard to see if any unwanted indicator lights up...
...Then proceed to doom scroll for 2 min.
uConnect sucks. It will literally take 10 to 15 seconds to finalize the connection in my wife's van. Sometimes I wait for it and sometimes I just have Bluetooth off and listen to my phone through its own speakers.
Blue tooth. My music doesn't have radio stations
