I hate the cold. Mostly because I have to sit in my car for five minutes waiting for it to warm up before I leave. These are the LONGEST five minutes of my day. To just sit there, freezing my butt off, waiting for the stupid car to warm up. I’ve thought about just taking my makeup into the car and doing it while I wait but I had to rule that out due to my stupid eyelashes that are incapable of curling without heat. That’s right. I have to wave my eyelash curler in front of my heater for a few seconds before I use it so I can get the little buggers to curl the tiniest bit. Otherwise, the fall flat…like pointing straight down flat. I’ve tried so many different mascaras and curlers… I find heat is the way to go. Unfortunately, there is none of that within the five minutes waiting for my car.
And… I refuse to wake up any earlier. So it’s always a scramble to get out the door in time. Who knew five minutes could make all the difference?
5 minutes of freezing hell

I don’t think you have to wait for your car to warm up. I think you can just start driving, albeit slower. The warming up thing is a myth!

yeahhh my car is older than 20 yrs… so it’s the exception
“On older, carbureted cars, that kind of extended warm-up can actually damage the engine by diluting the oil with excess fuel. So it’s even worse if you have a really old heap.”
It’s even worse! They say to warm it up for 2 minutes max when it’s less than -10 degrees outside. Is it really so cold already?
