That's a waste of approx 9-14 minutes.

I warm it up for about a minute in the cold, and then just drive lightly until the coolant temperature reaches it's normal operating temp. With modern engine design, modern fuel injection systems, and multi-weight oils you don't need to warm your car up as much as you would in the old days.

I warm it up for about one minute while I hook up my iPhone and look for a song to play. I take it easy on the throttle while the oil warms up though.

I let it sit for 10-15 sec before I start to move, I keep it under 3k rpm until temp is up.

I get in, turn the car on, pick a song I want to listen to and then I'm usually good to go. In colder weather I give it a couple seconds into the song before I get rollin'

I sort of warm up the car. Usually I start it then decide what radio station or cd i am going to listen to. If it is very cold out, I might give it a couple of minutes.

once you turn your car on, walk around your car about 3 to 4 times and your car should be ready.
