another moronic misconception people have about their cars. Cars warm up
best under a bit of load. Idling to warm a car is about the dumbest thing
you can do. Bad on the car, bad on the environment (catalytic converter
isn't hot), Bad noise, Bad on the wallet.
Just driving easy the first couple miles is much better idea. Now Yeah for
the like the first second, you don't want to max rev, but by like second
two, oil is pumping into the bearings.
