    Hi Fellow Dino owners,

    I used to use my car regularly (not quite everyday, but evenly split amongst all my cars). Now that it's been repainted and sorted, I'd like to start doing this again. The reason for my question is that my previous scenario had me driving to work for 10 minutes on the freeway and 10 minutes thru the city. My commute now is half of that. Would it be enough time to thoroughly warm up the Dino?

    need4speed, As you know the Dino loves to run daily. If you warm well before hitting the freeway, the car and oil will be thoroughly warm by the time you get to work or home.

    Hmmm...

    Either way, it'll warm up on the freeway. I'd go for it. No other way to find out than to give it a go. What could be better than a great drive in a great car.

    GO FOR IT. Just watch all the indicators and don't push until the oil temp gauge starts to move up.

    I love driving mine to work. Of course I get 30 minutes on back roads with twists and turns, over a scenic resevoir and through a state park on my way to work. I also pass an Army Reserve Base and an abandoned Nike missle base; a couple of farms, etc.

    Dave,

    Based on that post, I think I know (within a couple of miles) where you live!

    Regards,
