Not that I'm taking any sides here but taking advice on automobiles from Business Insider is like getting firearms advice from Salon. It may SOUND like a good idea in your head but once you say it out loud you realize how retarded it truly is....

The PM article you reference lists Business Insider as it's source, and the other two cite Jason from youtube. So welcome the the ignore list because you seem to only post nonsense and rubbish.

So Road and Track posts nonsense and you know better. Popular Mechanics is going to print nonsense and lose their credibility. I have a few more sources but if you want to start your car and leave it idling till you are eat breakfast, **** and get in to drive....

At this point, you are embarrassing yourself and spamming the board. Step away from the keyboard... this is one of the reasons you are on just about everyone's iggy list....

You guys are stubborn. Who exactly do you want to hear from to convince you that a car does not need to idle or warm up before driving?

As for embarrassing myself, you think I care what opinion you have of me? Oh, you speak for all the members of this forum?

If you don't care for this thread, just move on to some other one.

I don't think anyone is arguing that a modern engine needs to warm up before driving, only that it does no (or extremely little) damage to the engine if you do let it idle for a few minutes.

It's what the other guy was saying till some folks got rude and drove him away. Unlike you, the idiots were repeating that the articles (which said what you summarized) were all wrong.
