I have a non heated garage....so my -15C and up warm-up procedure consists of:

1) open the garage door
2) start the car wait for needle sweep to finish
3) immediately back out without touching the accelerator
4) once on the road proceed down the road for ~1 km still without touching the accelerator going upwards of 20km/hr.
5) merge onto the main highway proceed to 90km/hr (55mph)

If its below -15C insert: disconnect block heater plug that is on a timer as step#1.
