My wife thinks I'm totally crazy - - she's trying to have me certified for commitment (for other reasons, actually) - - because I make her stand in the driveway for 15 or 20 minutes while I completely warm the car up doing my laps.

Thanks for this nugget of oil-wisdom, m6pwr. You've made me a "convert." 
I admit to a few occasions of doing the harmful short commute, such as running
my GF to the light rail stop 5 mi. away.  I now will take her all the way to her
job in the 335d; about a 20 mile one way run. As I should have been doing for her
all along, anyway-- if I was a true gentleman! ----> 
Yes, this is a GREAT thread- esp. for the oil neophytes out here, such as myself...
