Not to mention that you're warming up the whole _car_, not just the
engine.

Transmissions, differentials, steering gear, wheel bearings, even
shocks, may also have parts that need to come up to operating
temperature.

Warming up the engine to full operating temperature and then tearing
off flat-out doesn't do the other components any favors.
