My procedure fro starting/driving in subzero Temp. is:
1)start,wait one minute ,drive off with 1st gear ,then quickly to 2nd and drive around about a block,in 2nd gear at 20 km/hr.
Doing it like this is more efficient than letting the car warm up for 5-7 min.in the driveway,and you still would have to take it easy driving off anyway.
If the tranny is auto I would just leave it in 2nd.
