Heh heh… it's brutally cold here and I don't believe in idling to warm up my engine. I get out on my allegedly residential street and go about a mile in the lower gears at about 15 mph. I pull to the right to let the convoys of ***holes by and even do so once on the two lane out of town but there is a point at which I stop letting them by. So a few of them stack up back there as we go through a no passing zone then it's like a motocross race start with everyone trying to get the hole shot. I'll get honked at then so I give a friendly wave, hopefully they saw it. Another two miles or so and the temp gauge moves into the normal range so then I bring it up to 50 mph. Still not fast enough, but nobody honks when they go by LOL.
