At this point, you are embarrassing yourself and spamming the board. Step away from the keyboard... this is one of the reasons you are on just about everyone's iggy list.... :owned:

I don't think anyone is arguing that a modern engine needs to warm up before driving, only that it does no (or extremely little) damage to the engine if you do let it idle for a few minutes.

It's what the other guy was saying till some folks got rude and drove him away. Unlike you, the idiots were repeating that the articles (which said what you summarized) were all wrong.

It is unnecessary and bad for the car to idle. I start up my car and within 15-20 seconds start to drive. Just don't stomp on the gas, feather it till the oil temp starts to build up.

There you go....good advice. When alarm rings to wake you up in the morning, first thing you do BEFORE you press the alarm button, you press the remote starter. Then, you brush your teeth, shower, dress and eat breakfast, before you step out to the car. Car is nice and toasty.

Great advice. It's why remote starters exist!!!

No, he's trying to be sarcastic. Of course, like everything else in his life, he completely ****** that up too. He needs to go warm up his car for a few hours. In the garage. With the door closed. Sitting in the driver seat.

Having one or both fobs in the car while it's idling does not make the car shut off. It doesn't make the doors lock on their own.

Also, even IF that actually happened, why in hell would you have to call AAA to come open the car? Both keys are supposedly in the car. Just hit the button on the car door to unlock...

So no matter what people are discussing in this thread, I'm either calling BS on the OP or calling the OP a troll. Either way, the OP isn't telling us the whole story, or he's just telling us a "story".
