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 got into the habit with my old VW beetles as they were cooled by oil fed through an air cooler. An old book I had said to let it run approximately the time to roll a cigarette (joint?) before moving. Now I start the engine before fastening my seatbelt and check mirrors before moving.
