i live in Florida and during the winter when it's freakin frezin' outside (60º) is it bad to rev it a few times to like 3500 RPMs to heat the engine so the heat works faster?

At 60? hell that isn't cold!! You need to come up here before you can bitch about the cold

Freaking freezing??? Somebody paypal some money this guy so he can buy a clue. I'm watching the snow pile up as I write this.

Don't rev a cold engine until at least a few minutes go by.

Man, that 60 degree weather must be killing you, I'm out on shorts and a t-shirt now in below zero temperature

60deg u must have mistyped , it's 20deg here in the moringings sometimes, thatx cold!!!

60 degrees in not cold. However, if the weather was like 15 degrees and you did a little revving to heat up the engine, this would NOT be a good idea. Just be patient and start the car giving it like 5-8 minutes to warm up.

Back to the topic, I usually let the car run for a minute or two, and then drive shifting at 1500-2000rpm until it warms up

no 60 is right thats cold to me im use to 90-98 degree days sometimes hotter than that! so im guessin that at 60 i can rev my engine right?

60 is tank top weather.

reving the engine doesn't make it heat up any faster - it will actually heat up faster if you let it idle. The coolant circulates more slowly that way. Also, leave the fan off for the first minute or so. I have had alot of experience with cold mornings here!

same with me... but i heard youre only supposed to let it warm up for half a minute to a minute, because the oil needs to circulate around the engine... but i also go easy on the car until it hits the normal warm spot... but when i start the car i rev it a little bit, (2500 rpms maybe) so it warms up quicker but im talking about 30 degrees or so outside not 60 lol... in 60 it warms up much quicker
