Yeah, "then again". Get back to us when it's 30 below out.

And it's excellent advice for folks like you who live in TX where "cold"
means it's 40 degrees out.

That's my -choice- but it doesn't work very often. I live in the
country on a US highway. That means that as soon as I leave the
driveway I have to get up to 60-65 or be impedeing traffic. I hate
doing that on a cold engine so will give it a minute or two idle before
leaving.

Why do you "have to" drive 65 just cause everyone else is doing it. You
have no obligation to help people break the law, you moron.
