Plus, I  do enjoy the surprise on people's faces when this 50 year old car 
starts with  a half-second punch of the button, due to electronic ignition 
coupled with an  electric fuel pump.  'Course, reality returns when I leave my 
parking  spot and they see the oil marks....  :-)
I'm not picking on you, Terry, but half-second starts are what my Herald  
always gives me, with its points and original AC fuel pump. I'll grant you,  
that's after it's been running a minute or two. It does usually take a few  
seconds to catch when it's been sitting cold awhile (sadly, that's usually  up to a 
week between opportunities to drive it), and maybe a bit less if I  bother to 
prime the carb with the fuel pump lever. (I never bother with that,  figuring 
that it makes as much sense to let the engine spin a few times without  firing 
to get the oil circulating).
 
And bless it's little heart, I don't even leave much of anything in the  way 
of "territory-markings"! :-)
