Letting your car warm up is a waste of time and gas. Start your car, let the idle find itself and drive. Your car will not be hurt, and you wont waste gas. the idea that your car needs to warm up for 5 minutes is a joke. This comes from Minneapolis, where it does get cold. It is a myth, an absolute myth that you need to warm the car before you drive it in the cold. Be a man, start it, and drive, ain't nothin going to happen.
