well wpouldn't tht be bad for the the belts and wouldn't they crack if the temp is below 32F. another thing the sound of the car is really bugging me. I heard my friends g35 has a great exhaust note. I ve had two BMWs in the pand those sound awesome for some reason lexus just didn't get the exhaust note right on this one.
Anyone else agree atleast on the 250

The best way to warm a car is to drive it gently for the first 5-10 miles. And then not go over 4k until it reaches normal operating temperature. Most of the wear happens on cold start ups, so if you let a cold engine just sit there, it won't heat up the oil quickly enough and it only result in more wear and tear. The oil needs to be warm to get into all the passages inside the engine. Also, you're wasting gas by idling.
