When it's in the 20's (or any temp here), I let my daily driver warm for less than a minute and just take her easy till the water temp needle is in the middle.
Leader got me thinking about the P-car:
My oil temp gauge barely gets over 180F (backdated gauge/sender years ago) even in the Atlanta summer after I installed a fiberglass blockoff plate in summer '03; allowing all the fan air to pass over the cylinders. The lack of a rear condensor probably helps the flow a little. Quite a decrease in operating temps from before. I warm up for a minute and baby it into 2nd gear and let the 2nd gear synchro wake up then drive like grandpa till the needle approaches 180F. Then it's noisy time!
