Try doing that when the plane isn't yours and you arrive at your local club for a 1.5 hour slot
I've walked away from a few rental bookings when the previous renter returned the aircraft late and I didn't have time to preflight and fly with a proper (mental) attitude.
Its aggravating (especially for the rental organization who lose the income), but rushing just isn't worth the risks you take.
It might not be a pre flight item that gets you, but a checklist omission or something just plain stupid like forgetting to change tanks and running one dry - the holes in the cheese are definitely more likely to line up if you are in a hurry.
Sadly there are too many examples of the consequences out there.
Ghengis, I admire your excellent airmanship in this instance, something that we should all use as a behavioural model.
