Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I read people talking about "short trips" but what does that exactly mean? I usually drive to breakfast, then to work, then lunch and back and finally to dinner and then home. I would say each of those trips in a given day is 15 to 20 mins in stop and go La traffic. Is that terrible for my car?

POST 2Original post

A short trip is when the engine is not able to get up to full operating temperature.
