Yea, warming up the engine especially in the winter.. So your car will last longer...tired of starting up the car then havin to wait for the bars to go down...
No need to wait long, start it, let it run less than a minute, and drive off slowly. Don't hit high revs until engine is warm and you'll be fine. Idling a cold engine is not the best way to warm it up.
