How long do you let your car warm up for?

In winter I do 3-5 minutes. Rest of year I run it two minutes before going.

My neighbor, no matter the weather, just goes right away. The other neighbor warms it up twenty minutes!! Even on a new car I think maybe one minute minimum is good to let the engine kick in.

@lissah If it's very cold it takes nearer to five minutes. Two for me is normal weather.
