Why, in Ferdinand's name, would you do that?

In all seriousness, idling to warm up is not ideal because it does nothing for the gearbox. If you think it's warmed up from idling, then take it out and get on it immediately, you are abusing your gearbox.

Ferry says to always drive under 3k to warm up.
