I agree with the two above posters. I often start the car, immediately go WOT, then slam it into gear. Every morning as a matter of fact.

Its also good to leave the clutch pedal halfway pressed the first 2-3 miles of driving, it helps it warm up.

I usually mash the clutch pedal 3/4 of the way down the entire time I drive, which is WOT the whole time.
