Do you guys warmup your car?

The O2 sensors are not part of the cold start program. The ecu bypasses the signals from them until the water temp gets to a certain amount. THEN the ecu switches from the open loop to the closed loop programming and starts to use the 02 sensors for a/f adjustments.
Also you are going to get pretty much full oil pressure seconds into the engine start. It's why modern oils have a winter weight and a normal weight.
But what do I know? I don't know much.

But sometimes nature and physics has variables that even modern technology cannot prevent.
Bottom line, warm up your car, change your oil when you're supposed to, and fill up with the correct octane.
But if you think it's okay to do less, then that's fine, its your car, not mine.
Have a nice day

This reminds me of the thread when a bunch of people said filling up the G with 89 octane is perfectly normal because of modern Knock Sensors.

I thought wise-1 was the only one that needed a little education

You're nit picking at the dumbest things. I don't get what you're trying to gain by pointing out the irrelevance in someones post. But if you took in the rhetorics of what they said in relation to the topic at hand, maybe you would get it.
But you don't. You just don't.
So I'm going to continue taking the extra 120 seconds to make sure my car has a second to breath before driving off gently. I'm also going to continue doing redline synthetic oil/gear oil/tranny fluid changes. im going to continue pumping the highest grade fuel i can get and I'm going to continue taking care of something I worked hard for.
Do what you do, I do what I do. Okay?

These engines don't need to be warmed up. Starting it and letting it idle running all rich is worse than just going.
This is not 1969. We have dual weight oils and ecu's now.
I run M1 0W40. It wouldn't matter if I lived in Alaska. Start the car, oil is up to full pressure in a couple seconds at most.
