[QUOTE=Wannabe6MT;4639066Nothing like watching people jump in their cars after hours on end in the cold, then just slamming the damn thing into drive after turning the key. Makes me feel sorry for the car.[/QUOTE]

Yes! When I get out of class I see this all the time, kids run out of class jummp in and drive off , I just feel so bad for those poor cars and their abusive owners. Sometimes I pull out of a spot so the person can park and I let it idle for a minute.

* I know its not thats necessary but I feel guilty If I dont spoil her with love. lol

 

i warm up my car every single time i drive....for past 8 years...remote start for the win.

 

i just warmup the car for 30sec-1min regardless of weather.

 

I warm it up because I hate getting into a cold car.

Heated seats help a lil though

 

im usually in a rush to go to work at 7am so i don't have time to warm up, and i live 1 minute off the highway which isn't good, i can't wait to get a remote start and start the car while i get ready

 

i warm mine up for like 30 sec to a minute.

 

Remote start ftw

 

I never turn my car off, so I don't need to worry about warming it up.

 

What is the normal water temp for a 04 G35 coupe? half way mark?

 

sometimes, depends. cold weather like this then yeah for like 5 mins. in the summer time, not really. mayeb smoke a cigarette then get in. but that's about it.

 

Do you have a Scangauge in your car that lets you see your water temp?... or do you have an actual real water temp. gauge?

I have a Scangauge in my truck and it's pretty sweet for monitoring things like water temp, voltage, intake air temp, TPS, Fuel Economy, etc.. but I've only used it in my car like one or 2 times.
