Brushing off the snow and scraping off the ice from my windows

I wait for my car to idle for a few seconds because the dealer told me to. The “cold engine” light turns off and then I’m good to go.

Hyundai recommends that car rubs for 10 seconds to make sure the oil is doing its job

uConnect sucks. It will literally take 10 to 15 seconds to finalize the connection in my wife’s van. Sometimes I wait for it and sometimes I just have Bluetooth off and listen to my phone through its own speakers.

Depends. I drive a hybrid and live on top of a hill so my routine is set up to try and keep the engine off until I hit flat land and go above 30 mph. Typically that means plug in and set up my phone, buckle in, turn car in, and slowly cruise out of there with no delay. I don’t really want the engine warming up until it actually needs to run.
