I startup the car and sit for 10-20 seconds to let the oil circulate everywhere. Then I drive slow until all the fluids are up to normal operating temps.

I start the car let it run for a min until the rpms drop back down then i go down the road easy and once the temp is at mid range i will push a little harder sometimes to hard then i feel the brakes boiling im a mountain man up here in NY love the curvy roads!
