Warm the engine driving or in the driveway?

Do you not have an owners manual? I'll take their word for it.

I think the point is that idling the engine is doing exactly jack for the drivetrain and its fluids. Idling til warm may make one think that the car is ready for hard driving, when in truth this would be extremely rough on the drivetrain. Gentle driving until warm ensures that everything is ready for high rpm driving.

Yes I do have a owners manual & I have read every word in it at least twice.
It also says to change oil every 15,000 miles with Mobil 1 0w-40. Ummmm..... I assume you follow this also.
Ever watch a professional race team warmup a car for hitting the track?
