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

I remote start her, then wait for her to reach normal operating temperature, then drive. I learned in one of my automotive classes you should always let your car reach normal operating temperature before driving. It lets the pistons and rings heat up and reach the size they are supposed to be. The engineers who design engines take this in to account when manufacturing the engines (heat makes things swell in size).
