As it is winter I am curious to know if other people are similar to me. I have been ridiculed for waiting for my car to warm up before I drive. When it is very cold and the car hasn't been used for a while, I wait for at least one minute after starting the vehicle before I drive the car. Once I start to drive the car I drive it gently and don't start giving it stick until it reaches normal operating temperatures. I don't believe it is good to put a cold engine under a lot of load. Does anybody agree or do similar things?
