in or into?

What would be more appropriate?

Jumping in the cold seat, I crank the ignition.

or

Jumping into the cold seat, I crank the ignition.

 

into, unless you are already in the cold seat and bouncing up and down.

 

Cool, I had it changed to "into", good to see my instincts aren't completely dull.

Thanks Cog,

 

he's right... as usual! [though not quite 'always' ]

 

Nobody's perfekt.

 

well, i'm so perfect, i know i'm not!

 

Technically, it's still spelled right? In German? lol

 

In the older, more malleable English.


Incidentally, the reason that it is 'into' and not 'in' is because 'in' is a state-of-being verb, (He was in the house) whereas 'into' is a preposition (Where did he go? He went into the room.)

 

In is a preposition also, although other than that, your point is correct.

 

true...
