Cold Engine, Redlining it.

Or you could get a remote starter so you can easily warm it up before you drive it.


On a side note I feel sorry for your wife or gf in that you don't let it warm up before driving it hard lol

haha.

I thought of the remote starter and did my research. But it seems they only make them for automatics.

this is what you can do:
1. start the engine 15 minutes before you start driving it.
2. move to S Florida or S California (then you will have to wait only 5 minutes in summer 7 at winter)
3. grow old about 10-15 years.
4. start saving for new engine.

i did/do all of the above

In NJ you can get fined for letting you car sit and idle! But besides that, it's better for the engine to be warmed up while driving moderately. I block heater is actually a good idea. they make stick-on blanket types, which are recommended on race cars to reduce damage during start-up.

You can install a remote start on a manual trans. just by-pass the clutch switch behind the pedal, so you dont have to wait 5 mins. inside the car before the needle starts to move. And also I read avoid "jack rabbit" take off on a cold engine. :dance:
