I'm in NYC and the weather is just changing, I've been waiting at least 5 minutes to pull off unless I warm it up beforehand.
The best way to warm up a car is drive slowly and keep the rpm low for the first 10-15 min. Stationary warm up doesn't do anything for the gearbox and etc., plus without stepping on the gas pedal and putting on some pressure, the corrosive residual water in the exhaust pipes doesn't get pushed out.

Above are some of the suggestions that came from my friends in the auto industry.
Thank you very much Phatcat . That's a big help. I gotta make sure my car is worked with damn near perfection. Gotta keep her running as beautiful as it looks.
