I agree, but I think there are different stages of warm... I think there is water temp is OK, oil temp is Ok, cat is OK, and the final all engine internal components are heat stabilized and fully expanded and the cat is really working!!!

In the world of "Smog Express" 2 minute smogs, 15-20 per hour, they aren't going to wait until the last stage if you didn't bring it in that way.
