ttdude's stupid Friday poll #30: black cat

ttdude · 12-13-2002, 07:45 AM

While I was struggling for a poll topic this morning, I realized it was Friday the 13th (duhn duhn dun-dah) and I started thinking about superstition and rituals. I think I've fused that thought (badly) with the TT to come up with a poll.

What regular "rituals" do you have for your TT?

A) Check tire pressure
B) Check oil level
C) Flip down radio cover
D) Check for tire obstructions before starting car
E) Do the hokey-pokey (please specify if passengers must participate)
F) Lube DV
G) Anoint with holy water to ward off spirits (or Rahul)
H) Other (please specify)

If you would like to detail the periodicty of any of these items, feel free.
Self-response: C, always - other maintenance stuff not as often as I should

Last week's results: I was actually a little bit surprised that there is such strong brand loyalty with gas stations! I guess that's why I do these polls - to learn. Or was it to kill time on Friday mornings? I always mix those two up...

i. Remove car cover, place in car cover bag, place in garage/take with me.
ii. Put on seatbelt
iii. Get comfortable in the seat(not always easy to do)

Other than that, nothing.

I NEVER use the radio cover.

I'm religious about my airpressure....

what gets me though... is when I set it the day before 31.5 front 29.5 rear.... then the temp drops that night and I check it again in the morning and its gone all freaky... 30 RF/35 LF... 36 RR/32 LR

=D

check for bird/monkey poops & wayward pine needles. Does that count?

Why is this poll being issued on a Saturday? Why am I a conjoint response this week? I feel slighted! :-p
