Incorrect, Sir...sort of. Most mass-produced cars have shit built into the software because most consumers are pants-on-head ratarded when it comes to cars. But, it is better to let the car "warm up" before driving. By warm up, I mean let the fluids circulate (oil, water, coolant, transmission, diff) before being a hoon. I do the same thing LurkingDirk is talking about - and always have - with my cars and bikes. Get in, start it up, THEN adjust shit, plug in phone, etc. Until the vehicle registers a temp (or temp change, depending on the gauge) I don't shift aggressively or give it much gas.
I cared a lot less about that in my daily drivers that were leased for work. But, in my fun cars, I always do it. Anyway, you're right about the engine/trans coming up to temp together.
Not every car is designed to the same standards (or for the same customer base) and as such, should be treated differently. Diesel vehicles are a prime example. You can't operate them the exact same way as a Toyota Camry. One is a very high pressure engine with a very high RPM turbo operating under harsher conditions than most cars. The other is a soulless shit-box designed for people who've given up on life and don't give two shits about anything except getting from point A, to point B.
Standard cars for the sheeple = get in, start, drive. You'll be fine. High-strung, performance based cars and bikes = let the damn thing "warm up", let the fluids circulate, and take it easy for a few miles.

Today's rustle: Hernia. Ho-lee fuck, not fun. Just because most of your body can handle squats and dead lifts, don't assume ALL of your body can.

Yes I can. But, you do understand the standard payment of nudes of said wife with Sharpies, and your daughters phone number are part of the transaction? Just PM the times you're at work and I'll swing by the house to "talk" to her.

Can i deduce from this that they are twins, or are you machine gun lurkingdirk?

Twins. Indeed. And the pink sock thing makes me wish I hadn't clicked that. I really don't need that in my vocabulary...

The myth that cars dont' need to warm up was started by car manufacturers who want to sell you a new car more often.
I don't actually know what or who tubgirl is either. I see enough references to her to know I don't wanna know.
And BOOM your transmission falls out tomorrow. That's why I don't brag about how many miles I have on mine.

Oh.
Who knew a pretty legitimate rustle about someone's wife doing the exact opposite of what most of us do and what makes basic sense would turn into talk of fucking conspiracy.
Let's all agree the absurd extremes a few of you dumb fucks want to assume everyone else is embracing so you can argue your own absurd extremes are, well, absurd and extreme. I'm gonna go out on a pretty short limb here and say somewhere in the middle--between car manufacturers saying not to warm and engine as a conspiracy to get you to blow the engine so you have to buy a new car and modern engines being such an amazing feat of mechanics it's fine to get in and immediately gun it--is the most reasonable approach.
To wit, get in, start the engine, adjust your shit, then start driving. Why? Because that's normal, reasonable and what you dumb argumentative fucks do anyhow when you aren't arguing every little point in an effort to step on someone's rustles.

TransUnion had a bad address on my credit report, so I put in a dispute. They don't have the address I live at on file yet (I moved 2 months ago) so they need proof of my current address now before they'll take care of the rest of my dispute. They'll only accept paper statements from utilities, pay stubs, etc. as proof of address and everything I do is all electronic, so can't use it! I guess I have to ask my utilities for a copy of my latest statement or something? Idk. Slightly rustled.
