Nobody. I see engines that blow up on people from bad tuning, too much power for their components, blown headgaskets, or incorrect assembly.

But I NEVER see anyone whos engines just "wore out" early cause they used crappy oil, or didnt let their oil get to 180 degrees before racing.
I completely agree with this, I just let everything warm up fully out of habit and OCD. All it means to me is I don't put my foot in it until I get to the freeway on my morning commute.
