<< One thing that kills me about winter drivers- your car will warm up a
lot faster if you 1) warm up the car for no longer than you need to put
on your seatbelt, and just drive and 2) have the heat shut off and the
blower off for the first 2-3 minutes... You don't need to idle and warm
up an engine unless it's well in negative degrees F, >>
Maybe so, but my bones just don't like sitting on cold vinyl when the outside
air temp is between 7 and 14 degrees (which we've been having for the last
month). :O It can be a real pain trying to see thru the frost that's on the
inside of the glass on those mornings. I don't warm up the car for the engine, I
warm up the car to get the inside of the car warm. ; )
