Warming car in the morning?

unless you're under -40C no need for warm up. just drive gently until the oil temp is 180-ish.

That's how I roll, fire it up and go, I don't care what the temp is.

But really if it's cold like when i'm in northern Canada in the middle of winter, -40C I let it warm up at least a few dots. Summer when the rpm drops to it's normal idol I go.

LOL, what I haven't told anyone is I have a special Nissan engine in my car developed with GM, it's a V6 based LS...so it should run for 1,000,000 miles, then I just need to wash it out and re oil it...so you can't always go by what I say. LOL
