2) Turn Key to check oil level
3) Push In Clutch
4) Take Car out of Gear
5) Start Car
6) Reach for the Sport Button to activate
7) Turn off PASM
8.) Activate iTunes for my TranzitBlu
9) Sit Back and relax while car warms up
10) Continue to smile during entire process
What do you guys or gals do?

Educate me on this. Where did you see it?
In the M96 motor, it was left-hand sweepers that caused oil starvation. And even then you had to be on true race slicks to generate enough G force for starvation to happen.

I get in, sit down and just look at the gauges for a second. Key in left hand, and just look.
Insert key, pause, then turn key to position 2.
Check the oil. Press pause on stereo if I notice it is not already.
Set phone to DND.
Change settings to Sound>Vibrate on Silent > Off.
Switch phone to silent.
Put phone in door pocket.
Pull car out of gear. (Clutch or no varies daily)
Start the car.
Smile at the snap of the start up exhaust sound against the closed garage door. Imagine how fun it would be to just stab the throttle - but remember there is a gentle old lady puttering around in her robe tending her roses across the street.
Press the garage door open button.
Slowly back out of the garage and stop, listen to the rumble. Close garage door and observe the property. Gate closed? Side gates latched? Anything different this morning?
Slowly back out. Angled just right so as not to scrape my chin on the steep driveway-roadway transition.
Idle it in reverse. Stop and last look at the house.
Locked up tight?
Imagine work for one second. Sigh.
1st gear roll quietly. 3rd house down, 2nd gear. Roll quietly.
Always leave my neighborhood at nearly idling (no wake zone) - always around 17 mph.
Oil warms up by the time I reach the freeway.
The only thing that really changes from that sequence is if I need to add oil, and the time of day that I leave.
