how many of you keep your 7 garaged? (archive)

i was thinking about the "warm up or not warm up" question, but even though it gets really cold here, my car always spends its nights in the garage. so would the argument still hold true? it never gets below 50 degrees fahrenheit in the garage... it's almost 1.7 miles from my garage to the exit of my subdivision, so i never get the car over 25 miles/hour for the first several minutes. by that time, the temperature needle points straight up.

The winter has arrived here in NY, therefore I started to warm up my car before I drive it to go to work. Reading the owners manual, it says don't let the car "warm up" for more than 30 sec before drive away. Well I normally let my car warm up for about 05 to 10 min. leaving the car at idle for this period of time will cause more of a trouble in my car, than just wait for 30 seconds and drive away?. To be honest, right know every time before I drive my car with temperatures between -15 to 25 degrees I warm up my car. which really concerns me a lot. so the question againg is should I or not ?
Thanks In advance
