re: Letting the car warm up before taking off, like 20 secs

Am I wrong to still think after you start the car you should wait about 20 seconds before putting into gear and taking off?

Not if you want it to last.

I don’t know... but there is a dude in my neighborhood with a raptor that he starts at 6:15 every morning and lets it run until 6:45 when he leaves. I’m a go out on a limb and say that isn’t necessary unless there is something special about the V8 in that truck. He also, hammers it when he leaves to make sure everyone knows it’s him going to work. It’s annoying
