I like to warm it up in the winter just incase I need to open it up to get away from an * hole
aftermarket gauges are a real eye opener

Wait, warm up? Do you mean stretch your legs or something. Do you guys not all just push your places to show it off?

Ill sit in it for a min or two until it hits the 2 big notch on the heat meter. A few more if its freezing, I just got it though so I'm sure that will get old real fast. I think the big deal about the heat is to let it warm all the way up before you turn it off again... or at least thats what the guy who sold it to me said.

Usually open the garage door and start my car at the same time, about 5-10 minutes before I leave in the morning. Makes it easier.

Emphatically No! I get in the car and drive...just not like a crazy person...driving is the best way to warm up the car --- under a bit of load.

I live in Florida....
Most of the time I start it and go back inside to finish getting ready, when I come back out, my cats are outside gasping for air and I am ready to go.
