lol so it wears the engine out at idle than whilst driving in cold is it?

What does it mean by "it wears engine out quicker" is it bad at idle?

Meaning it is not just running for longer (ie however many minutes sat there doing fk all), it is running for longer at a non optimal (lower) temperature. If you drive it gently it warms up more quickly than when sat there idling.

Ever wonder why taxi engines go forever - they don't get cold....

Nothing wrong with an idling engine, just a cold one. That is the important difference.

Oh and if my neighbour had a car with a loud exhaust and insisted on idling it for 5 minutes every morning I would get bloody annoyed.
