Wow, I didn't even realize I'm the same way until now. I think just knowing you had a time-restraint on an analog just added to awareness of how much longer you have to go on your drive.
My number one is something i really haven't seen anyone else talk about but i don't have to worry about knocking over any of my many dip-bottles in my truck! There was nothing worse than having to whip into 7-11 and grab as many napkins at the pump as i could to soak up dip spit.
