How detrimental is it to...

i think if you need to get out of the way of a runaway truck, you shouldn't care what your oil temperature is but you should take it easy and wait to have your 'fun' until the oil is warmed up.

i would also like to note that the car also pollutes the most when very cold because catalytic converters are doing the very least to reduce emissions when they are not warmed up. so all those eco nuts that don't know d1ck about cars who get in their cars and just drive away right away are polluting more than they think.

anyway, thats a side note. I also just like to think of it like this. would you like to get woken up, told to get out of bed and sprint 1/4 mile? i dont think so. obviously a car is a machine, but, personifying things sometimes helps.
