Well, that's your reality :-) Mine is that I quite frequently am in the mountains or desert, 20+ miles from the nearest house or cell phone tower. The problem is people who come from your reality to mine, but expect it to still be like yours.

As for warming up, my vehicles get the time between starting the engine and letting out the clutch. They're an '88 and '00, and both are still running strong.
