Guess I should've phrased it a little better, do y'all think its good or bad for the engine?

how in the world would it possibly be bad?

If it's 20 degrees outside and you crank the ignition then instantly start driving, I don't think it's going to "hurt" anything but it's definitely not a bad idea to let it sit for a few minutes and get warm.

You're not supposed to warm up your car by letting it sit idle.

It's a myth.

If it's cold, like 20s or below, the best thing to do is wait about 30 seconds to a minute and start driving it lightly.
