Long warm up time in not necessary with modern engines.
Here in South Fla (always summer temps) I wait about 30 seconds before moving. Then I am close to idle to the end of my street, another 30 seconds. Then I take it easy on the car and will not drive "normal" until the oil temp gauge reaches the line between 200 and whatever the first line is (the water temp is at full temp much sooner)
If it is really cold I'll wait a bit long before moving.
