The car likes it.

As for that secret stuff, can't think of anything that hasn't already been said or brought up here before. The people of Camaro5 know their cars very well.

I always warm up my car for like 3-5 mins. My wife moved my car the other day and I was like did you want it up for a few mins first? lol
She was like nooooo I couldn’t see out of it (dark tint plus morning frost) and it’s loud and I was scared

Always warm it up some. ALWAYS wait until the oil temp is 200 degrees before getting on it. Still seems to have better days than others. Nothing wildly different, very subtle.

I do remember in the 1970’s when I drove the parents cars that when you got in them after they drove them a week, it might get a little rubber. After I beat on it for a few days, they seemed to get tired.

I'm always amazed at how much the car loves colder air.....now if the tires would agree🤔

I hear that loud and clear. I briefly had mine in -8 degree air in january of last year. Man it ran soo good. Tires were a handful to say the least. I couldn’t drive like a jack ass for sure.
