What do you mean by 'fully warm up', exactly?

I let it run for 30 seconds to let oil get where it needs to and let the cylinder temps come up to prevent acidic condensation and subsequent wear (combustion byproducts are acidic), then drive off fairly normally. I don't put the hammer down until I'm sure oil temps are up.
