Do you sit and let your car warm up before driving it,
OR do you just throw it in gear and go?  Im curious, are you?

Theres no benefit to sitting in your car while it idles.
The engine warms up faster by driving it, thus reducing high friction/high wear time as long as you take off easy and shift before 2000 revs. -- This can be somewhat difficult if you live on a main road so it's best to creep out to the end of your driveway and find a suitable gap in the traffic that will allow you in without racing the engine cold. FWD NA cars are alot more forgiving if you do need to suddenly go. -------------------- Mike W
