The Carburetor Went the Way of the Dinosaur.

These days, the carburetor is largely extinct, being replaced by the modern fuel-injection system. Yet some drivers in the Kansas City area still seem to be stuck in the Jurassic Period. People still spend 10 minutes warming up a fuel-injected vehicle that could have been driven seconds after it was started.

Few processes in modern auto mechanics are as poorly understood as the cold-weather start. Back in the days of the good old carburetor, a car couldn't be driven until it was warmed up. Today, warming-up is a counterproductive exercise that wastes fuel, harms the environment, and even may damage your car!
