25+ years ago when I had my first Porsche, a '73.5T, I had a very short drive to BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). So, I used to start the 911 up in the garage, set the hand throttle at 1500rpm, go back in the house, eat my morning toast, drink my coffee and read the paper. I then drove the warmed up 911 2 miles to the BART parking lot.

Well one day I decided to take the day off, slept in and didn't start the 911. When I went out to get the paper, my next door neighbor was rushing out to his car and asked what the hell happened. I asked, "What do you mean?". He said he didn't hear the 911 start up and over slept. So, that day he was late for work.
