Tuesday's Driving Tip: You don't need to warm up your car in the winter Okay it's officially getting cold now, and if you're like me you like to start your car a few minutes before you drive it to let it warm up a bit. Here's the thing, you don't need to - at least not for your car's sake. More likely is that I like to get my van going to get my seat warmer making my seat a little less frigid, and perhaps to help getting frost and ice off my windshield. Outside of that, there is no reason to let your car idle before driving in the winter time. Cars will warm up much faster once you get driving them, compared to letting them idle. What about you? Do you let your vehicle warm up before you drive it in the winter? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/…/should-you-…/article623085/
