Running Temp

I have a slight problem with sufficiently warming up the engine. Scenario: Dead end road, short distance to intersection with only left or right turn and speed limit on that road is 60mph. I start the car a little before going out, slowly drive to the intersection and only pull out when no cars are in view. There is a little problem there too because the road has a bend not far away. When I finally pull out I build up speed as slowly as possible unless I encounter a few cars coming up behind me. There is a double yellow line in this area so they should not be allowed to pass. On several occasions I have put my emergency blinkers on and pulled as far over as I can which is not much. I guess I am looking at how long should I able the car before taking it out of the garage? I know the water temp will be below oil temp... Comments and suggestions welcome.
