If you have a car, do you let it warm up for...

A minute or two? ( before using it) I was always under the impression to do that, hot or cold temps outside, to give engine a moment to run. Then once my friend did it too..she said, Im just giving it a minute to warm up ( her dad is a mechanic). But I see many just start it and go in one second. 🤔

I just start and go but I also tried to use my car keys to unlock my refrigerator.

@SinlessOnslaught LOL!

I know the feeling....

I've occasionally arrived home, locked the car then caught myself trying to use the same radio fob to unlock the house door. Occasionally a "Click" from behind me reminds me I've only unlocked the car instead.

As for fridges.... don't tempt 'em. Some manufacturers are already cramming them with all sorts of meretricious "electronickery" to help sell them to the gullible and/or gadget-conscious!
