I'd like to drive my car more and drive it to work, but the days are short and it gets dark early. New LED headlight bulbs are in the mail so that will help. The other aspect of this is that I only live 2 minutes from work by car. To me that's not enough time to properly warm up the car and it would be bad for it. What is the expected time for a stock A to properly warm up? I'm in Iowa and it's cold; 20's this morning, but near 50 in the day and dry out with no salt or sand.
