Okay so to get this straight...it's better to NOT warm up the car...just dont boost till it is? I warm it up for 2-3 minutes

 

I do it because I want heat coming from my heater. Not angry penguins and icicles.

 

haha

I dont think warming up can be bad at all, unless your car is overheating.

i hate when the onramp scenario happens...like leaving a meet when your car is cold...you see the onramp and youre like YES! then you look at your needle below C...****!

 

roar!

 

precisely why I let my car warm up

Spirited Driving ALL DAY

 

...just got to remember to let the tires warm up to lol... otherwise that will hurt even more.

 

I don't know you, but I'm pretty sure if you're flying out of the vents in my car something is horribly wrong.

 

well, i mean just all the initial check cycle that the computer does when normally turning on the car. It might be the ABS light that blinks last. I think that should be the same for all Subies.

oh me so jealous....

 

 

That's what I do in the mornings. I just start the car and sit there until it goes through it's "natural" warm up cycle before I start to go. Warming up your car is not a bad thing at all. The whole point of warming up your engine before driving is to:

A: get all the fluids up to running temperature, and

B: get all the fluids circulated through the system.

Granted, this is normally most beneficial in very cold climates (colder than the BA), but can also be something you need to do depending on how old or heavily modified your car is.

 

I'm also going to go out on a limb and guess that isn't a picture of you. A real penguin would be mighty scary. A girl even more so. Coming out of the vents I mean.

 

how does this cold weather explain my clunk =[

 

If there are girls coming out of your vents, I'd like to purchase your car please.

 

You can purchase my car and I'll force girls out of the vents. Just pay asking price.

 

What's the hourly rate on your car?
