right? most care about being comfortable, not their engines or the environment. Most people wont own a car long enough to have engine problems from cold idling. Heck my boss who is elderly who recently had a heart attack uses his remote start to warm his car with the heater already set for a solid 10-20 mins depending on how cold it is and how he is feeling. Its a 2010 model and really he will pass before the car blows up but really even then if he lived forever he would rather do that and buy a new engine every 50k then be cold.
me personally only idle for 30 seconds to a minute as i settle myself in the vehicle and set my stuff inside.
