i drive a 97 toyota rav4 and was wondering if one should warm up they car in the morning before i go to work any thoughts on this
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
warming up your car

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

It depends. If you live in the hood, I wouldnt. Decent neighborhood, why not?

From what I hear, it is really not needed with modern autos.
But I'm not a mechanic.
In fact I remember reading that modern cars may benefit more from being driven cold than idling to warm up.
But like I said, I really don't know and may or may not be wrong.

This is correct. Rather than idling a cold engine where it wouldn't lubricate as well at idle, it's best to drive it modestly to warm it up so that the rpm's are around the 2000 rpm range or so. Since I dislike foreign cars the OP should just jump in it a gun itTeflon_Mcgee said:
.Letting your car run for couple of mins or driving it very calmly allows oil to get where its supposed to go before you really put the engine to work, which decreases wear on the engine.
If you constantly floor the pedal right after starting up a car thats been sitting for a while, your engine won't last very long.
You should also let it warm up if its below freezing. Frozen metal,friction, and sudden heat is a bad combo.
Although, these steps are a lot more helpful on newer cars. On older car like yours if you start doing this, it may prolong engine life a bit, but not really by much. If you do this along with regular oil changes for the life of a new car, your engine will last many hundreds of thousands of miles.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
