It amazes me how many people I see start a cold engine and immediately put it in gear and take off.
I don't let my vehicles "warm up", to full operating temperature, but at a minimum I wait until the fast idle goes down before I take off after a complete cold start.
I worked with a guy that jammed his vehicles into reverse the exact second the motor actually started, like it was a game to see how many milliseconds it took for him to get it in gear and take off after the motor started.
Maybe it isn't necessary, but I always waited for the fast idle to go down with my 06 Magnum R/T and it still runs fantastic. I do the same with my 2000 TJ Wrangler as well as my new Ram.
