Looks like the Good Housekeeping article was a re-print (copy) from Popular Mechanics.
Either way, I like to get all machines warmed up before GUNNING it. The old carbureted Cub Cadets get warmed up a few minutes before throttle goes to WOT and I start doing doing task. I usually start EFI gas powered truck start and go.... but I go EASILY until engine is warmed up. It's a few minutes till the highway and I go slow on quiet backroads with little traffic to snarl up. In the case it's so cold (remember Polar Vortex?)... I have the remote starter. That truck will sit there in the driveway warming up because I ain't freezing my arse out there.
