Mama Mia! ... That was a cold 45 minute drive.
I learned another thing about my car this morning- It is just as cranky, and fussy about waking up on 35 degree mornings, as my wife is.
When I finally got the choke set where it would hold an idle (after 4 restarts, haha) those solid lifters were chattering around in there like popcorn popping...
I think it was finally all warmed up, and running "normally" about 20 minutes later (halfway through my 20 mile drive)
I got to work just as the footboxes were finally getting warm enough to thaw out my feet
I loved every minute of it.  
There was some other crazy fool on the freeway in a convertible MustangGT... as we sat next to each other in traffic, we just exchanged that casual glance that simply stated: "Yes, we are both morons..."
