The Japanese in WWII had a sub that carried two or three Mitsubishi fighter planes. While under water they devised an oil warming system so that when the sub surfaced the planes' engines could be started immediately and take off. I often think of those planes when I see how long it takes for the temps to come up on the Boxster.
When watching a NASCAR race, note that when cars first appear on pit road prior to the start, there's a big box on wheels next to each one. That's a motor oil heater.
