Thread: Driving a car when its too cold

^ i have my house windows open... feels good here now that the cold front is gone... projected high of 55 degrees tomorrow

I normally just jump in, start it, and drive. But I drive easy until it is warm. But I don't let it sit and idle to warm up. Start-up is the worst thing for your engine. Once the engine is started and running, driving it isn't really going to hurt that much, as long as you don't pound on it. So the only thing idling does is allow you to pound on your engine sooner.
