No garage. As soon as I have oil pressure, I drive, and by saying that, I mean, as soon as it starts. You have oil pressure faster than the gauge can show it. The water temp comes up quickly. It's the transmission and differential that takes driving to warm them and that takes longer than you might think.

You are not doing you car any favors by letting it idle for any length of time after a cold start. None.
