Every once and a while it is necessary for me to move my truck out of the [relatively] small garage so we can access different things. This used to mean turning on the engine twice.

Today I tried simply rolling out and it worked fine. Just required me to push off a bit with one leg. The brakes gave me plenty of power to come to a complete stop. I didn't key to position 1 because I think it's kind of like cheating to record that distance and try to count it towards mpg (even though it is saving me gas).

Over time this should save a lot of wear, since I now only have to start the engine to put it back. I'm already viewed as too hyper, so I can't ask for a push back in!
