It's not good for the car, either. Cars aren't meant to idle; cars are made to have all fluids moving & the car rolling down the road.

I treat my car to a gentle warm-up when it's cold outside; I start the car & start driving, but only 20-30 mph for the first 5-8 minutes. All the components of the car are gently being used, are slowly warming up, together. I think my car runs better for it.
