If warming up my vehicle is bad for it, TFB. Minus anything outside, and mine gets 10 minutes (my ##### ass gasoline 1/2 ton). Not gonna lie, I hate getting into a freezing cold vehicle, so I use my remote start. Less selfishly, it takes quite awhile for the back seat to get warm, and I don't want my daughter freezing back there either. And even less selfishly, getting into a freezing vehicle and shivering and breathing vapour onto the windshield while going 10kph down the road is not at all safe.

I declare you to be incorrect! Warm up your vehicles, people! And brush off the snow, FFS.
