Maybe I'm just old school (okay, maybe just old), but I never get on the gas aggressively until I know oil and coolant are up to operating temp. Not sure why anyone would think it is okay to turn the ignition on a cold engine block, romp on the gas and expect everything to operate the same as when everything is warmed up and flowing (fluids), not to mention the damage/wear that is done to the engine with this practice.

Don't get me wrong, I leave a lot of rubber on the twisties around here; but only after the car is warmed up.
