Morning :)
Found this on yahoo news this morning at work .....
Debate : You need to idle/warm your car up before going out on the roads.
Their answer..
1. You need to warm your car before starting out in cold weather: FALSE.
Idling isn't an effective way to warm up your car in the winter -- driving away is. Today's engine and fluid technology is designed to start working as soon as you turn the key (or at lease once your windshield is defrosted). Not only does idling waste gas and cause pollution, it can actually cause damage to your vehicle.
Whats yours? I usually do warm mine up 4-5mins depending temp

I'll start my car for around the same amount of time (3-5 minutes) if it's cold outside. Thing is, i'm not entirely sure I buy into the whole "fluid technology" thing... to me, oil is oil, and if not for maybe some extra detergents, it's pretty much the same stuff as what I put into my cars in 1990, no?
I can't see 3-5 minutes damaging my car, but I agree it does hurt the environment... But a bit better than those rickety 1991 Caravans on the road - you KNOW they wouldn't pass a legit driveclean test just by looking at them.

Mine's a shep/collie cross and he was the exact same way when he was a pup. He'll calm down after a while but they're amazing and very obedient dogs!
I'm gonna buy an english bulldog in a few years after I purchase a condo because they're chill just like me. He'll chill with me when i'm playing COD hahaha
