Cars, Trucks, and other forms of personal transportation

Only thing that bugs me a little is that shut off the engine when at a full stop for a few seconds thing. I know I can turn it off, but I'm going to give it a bit more time, see if I can get used to it. That's a fuel saver. It reduces emissions while at idle as well. But! You can't get off the line...
