You completely misread that statement.
-
Kenny
10:21:33 12/16/05
So...why aren't you suppose to warm for an extended time...

You aren't supposed to idle for an extended period of time.

PennStateZ

He asked why not to warm the car up, which I didn't say.

10:29:35 12/16/05
So is it normal to ake 10 - 15 minutes of doing 65mph

Paradoxically, it takes longer to warm up at higher speeds.
