Depends on how much time I have after walking the dogs in the morning really but I generally don't wait long. Sometimes if I have time and it's super cold

Depends on how much time I have after walking the dogs in the morning really but I generally don't wait long. Sometimes if I have time and it's super cold out or it's been a couple days without driving I will give it a few minutes but 45 seconds is the norm and then drive it easy until I get out on the highway which is about 2 miles. Honestly the car is under warranty and I am much harder on the car when I drive it aggressively than driving it cold.
I do agree with some about modern cars being better suited for start and go driving but I cringe when my neighbor starts up her car in the morning and puts it right into reverse before she even has her seat belt on. CLUNK! |
