I gotta quit thinking about writing catchy thread titles...
It's been close to 40 years since I drove a car this old year 'round. No problems yet, it was in the 30s when I got off work tonight and the Lark started right up. Of course the shifting was purposeful for a couple of blocks before becoming stiff, then it started to warm up.
For those of you who drive regularly in cold climes, do you still sit and wait to warm your engine up a certain length of time? I don't have a set routine, but after starting the car up and pretty much rolling it as well as it would right away may not be the best practice for the car and I'm interested in how best to handle 'warm-up' chores in wintertime temps, 30s and colder.
Thank you,
