Do you let your old engine warm up or just get in and drive?

I use a manual choke (every old car I own) and I let it run on high idle until I get to mid choke then I will get moving but go easy until I take the choke completely off and I am close to full temp.

Unless it's in the summer and above 75 degrees then usually it won't even need the choke and be ready to go almost right away like an EFI.

Maybe I am doing it wrong but it has worked for me and I get a reliable starting engine every time.
An old guy I knew who was a transmission builder from the 60s and 70s (R.I.P. ED) told me to never push a cold engine hard, go easy and the engine will tell you when it's ready.
