Every morning like every one else, I spend some warming up the car for about 5 minutes idling. I sat freezing cold in my car wondering to myself if all "this" was necessary? So one day I asked my dad the idea/purpose behind warming up the car, he said it was required for "older" cars to function normally. I was checking through my yahoo email and found this article on the main page.

Conclusion?
Warm up you car for about 10 seconds
