Default Am I crazy?

Before you answer the question "Am I Crazy?", allow me to explain the context.

I have a fantastic tank going, I think it is a both a personal record and an overall HCH tank record (so far). At work we have a gated security fence that stays broken most of the time, allowing anyone access from the street and allowing me to coast into a parking spot without the need to restart my car after the final FAS. In the middle of my fantastic tank they fixed the gate for the fence so now everyone must stop and wave a name badge in front of a scanner. It is flat where the scanner is but it is downhill just after.

Instead of restarting my car after stoping for the scanner I've been pushing it a couple of feet and jumping back in and coasting into a parking spot. I come to work a little early so no one is behind me.

Naturally I voted perfectly sane........

Oookay. Crazy engine not shutoff man.

You say the FEH isn't a real hybrid, but I'd EV it without a problem.
Dunce cap for you!

The aforementioned statement is meant as a joke, rather than a serious statement. It is not meant to offend anyone, but to amuse readers. Even the crazy ones.

Talking Re: Am I crazy?

The first time I saw photos of someone pushing their car was in the 1973 gas crisis. The most recent time was of Iraqi in mile long lines waiting for gas. Pushing a car 'for real' is what we're trying to avoid.

Uh, I voted "Perfectly sane . . ." having remembered push starting more than one manual transmission car.

I voted crazy - but you know, it's the kind of crazy you have to step back and admire.

Pushing your car for better FE is hard-core! Nuts, but hard-core nonetheless.
