Do you sit and let your car warm up before driving it,
OR do you just throw it in gear and go? |

I just start it up and go. I wait for the oil pressure light to go off before I take off, but I just go.
EDIT: When it gets really really cold here, right in the middle of winter, I'll let it warm up before I take off. But I'm more interested in having a warm car than I am about doing any damage.
