"If you leave your vehicle's engine running during a delay in proceeding (traffic-jam, road construction, accident-resolution, "stuck" red signal-light, etc.), you will be sitting there for many minutes, just wasting gas. The instant you turn the key off and climb out of your seat to stretch, however, THAT'S when the line of traffic will begin moving again, and thus you will have shut off your engine "for nothing", AND you will now be holding up everyone behind you while you hastily hop back into the driver's seat and re-start the engine so that you can move forward again."
I finally took da plunge and bought a second-hand Toyota Prius because I'd eventually had one too many cases of Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration... the Prius automatically shuts down its power during stand-stills, and then uses its electric motor to provide instant mobility as soon as you're ready to go again.

makeup-and-breakup engine

A cacophonous and maintenance-intensive magneto-and-points-based primitive-power-plant device dat is infamous for aggravating da significant others of its owners to da point dat they would repeatedly storm off in a huff --- both due to da noise and da amount of time dat said owners spent servicing said old-iron monstrosity --- for indeterminate periods, eventually get lonesome for said motor-owners' companionship and venture back, only to become re-stressed and have said "on again, off again" frazzled-nerved scenario played out over and over.
As far as humans of da feminine persuasion, Bert Dow appeared to only have his long-suffering sister Leela in his life; I wonder if this was due to dat confounded old makeup-and-breakup engine of his --- i.e., no non-family women could stand to be around said horridly-loud prop-whirler which Burt was frequently having to tinker with just to keep going?
