Default THRASHING A CAR FROM COLD

i have always been under the impression that thrashing a car from cold is not good for the long serving life of your engine/ gearbox?

i always wait till the water up to temp and then again wait 4-5 miles more so therefore abotu 10 miles of under 2.5k before givin it a pastin.

whats everyones thoughts on this, anyone ever doen a test??

surely the oil is too thick to move aroudn the engine quick enuff when cold and could do premature wear???


thanks

carlos
