Turning A Car On

Hi guys I have been having a slight problem with my car recently in that while I am aware of the basics of driving and consider myself a pretty neat guy I'm not entirely sure how to turn my car on. I've managed to get the key into the ignition (getting the door unlocked was an adventure in itself!) but I'm not sure how to proceed from here. My instinct is to try turning the key but I thought I should check with some experts beforehand because I don't want to permanently damage my car.
Also if it begins to rain is there any precaution I can take to prevent the windscreen becoming obscured with water, perhaps some kind of automated device? Any advice you could give would be excellent.

As for the rain, keep turning the interval adjustment until the liquid on your windscreen looks thusly:

1. Set the emergency brake and be sure the shifter is in neutral.
2. Retard the spark by raising the left (spark) lever to the top of it's quadrant.
3. Lower the throttle lever approximately three notches, or until the gas pedal lowers very slightly.
4. Adjust the mixture on the dash to the setting appropriate for the conditions.
5. With the ignition OFF, hold the choke out (fully closed). This will require either a helper, a pull cord from the lever on the carburetor to the front of the vehicle, or one of those modern undersized and sticky choke rod grommets.
6. Carefully position the crank in place engaging the ratchet with the crank left of center in the lower of the two possible positions. Grasp the crank as shown in the photo above, paying close attention to the thumb position below the handle. Pull the crank to the top briskly but carefully. Repeat with a second pull.
At this point there should be gas running slightly from the carburetor to the floor.
7. Release the choke and turn ON the ignition.
8. One more pull of the crank and the engine should start. NEVER push the crank down the right side of the rotation with the key on!
9. Advance the spark lever about half way down the quadrant and adjust the throttle speed.
Ill bow to a king in london before I obey that bullshit law! Its unjust it is! If a man wants to go warp 5 to work, whos the government to tell him otherwise!?!
Have you tried holding the key still and turning the car around it?
The engine startup sequence is roughly the following (respective controls are referenced by their numbers on the illustration above):
* Turn the JFS starter switch on.
* Pull the JFS control handle.
* Engage the first engine by pulling its respective fingerlift on the throttle (see article on throttles in the 'Cockpit' section in the left menu). As a standard operating procedure, the right engine should be started first so that a hydraulic pump operated by the right engine can be checked. The fingerlift on the front of the throttle engages the JFS connection to the engines.
* Wait until the JFS spins the right engine to 20% rpm. Engine rpm can be monitored on the Engine Monitoring Display (EMD) on the front dashboard above the right knee of the pilot (see article on the engines in the 'Engines' section in the left menu).
* Push the throttle forward out of NULL and into IDLE. The digital electronic engine control (DEEC) takes over from there.
* Monitor the rpm and FTIT (Fan Turbine Inlet Temperature) on the EMD during the process to ensure there is not a hot start or other malfunction. PW-220 hot-start FTIT limit is 680 Celsius, while the same limit for PW-229 is 800 Celsius.
* As the engine spins up past 56% rpm the right generator comes on-line and the right engine intake ramp, which has been locked in the full-up position, slams to the full down position (this scares a lot of first-time passengers in the back seat!)
* Test fire sensor loops (see article on the Fire Warning/Extinguishing System in the 'Engines' section in the left menu).
* Repeat the same process for the left engine.

Throw out those keys and grab a nice, hefty crowbar. Give the ignition lock a good thwack. Pull off the broken bits and turn the rotation switch (it's attached to the lock tumbler).
The great thing about this method is that it works for other cars, too, in case you lose the keys to them.

On the other hand, if this is just an acquaintance, you may need to be a bit more subtle. Take it out for the premium gas, slip in a little octane booster, and see where it leads.

Just put it in her ass. Problem solved.
This is excellent advice. Any car that doesn't get turned on by Tube in a lacy thong and bra from Victoria's Secret is probably a lesbian.
EDIT: But really, the best way to turn a car on is through copious amounts of foreplay. Tease the ignition with the tip of your key, lightly caress the emergency brake, or gently massage the stick shift. All are surefire methods of getting your car in the mood for some piston-pumping action.
