Ok I over heard some guys talking about how they have to warm up their cars. There isn't many things i know, but one thing i do know for sure is, warming up a car is a bad thing. Car engine belive me or not were never made to sit idle.

i guess i should have made myself more clear.. i don't mean starting your car for 30 seconds then taking off, by warming up the car i meant letting it run for 30 minutes. Back in the day people would let the engine warm up not because of oil but because the gasoline would freez up in the carb.. but thanks to those beautiful people at exxon they started adding stuff to gasoline in the winter so it wouldn't freez.. ask any gas station owner (in a cold area) if he gets a diffrenet mix of gas in the winter and summer.. as for the oil well unless your in -degree weather its made to start up and run fine in cold weather..
