most engine wear is at startup. just let it idle for 20-30 seconds or so, drive it easy until you're at operating temp, and you're good to go. :thumbup:

that's what I do and it dropped down to 33F this morning. actually I don't let it idle at all. I just back out of the garage and take it easy for the first 10mins or so.
