Ok here it goes, well my car has been taking a little while to warm up, almost 10 minute drive to work, and it warms up soon as i get in the parking lot, anyways, i noticed it was pretty low on antifreeze, i added some now it warms up quicker. When my coolant tank is completely empty, should my light come on? Thanks
 
Not completely empty...it should warn you when it gets low. Does it light up when you turn the key to the on position? Could be a burnt bulb if not.

Another option...start the car about 10 minutes before you leave. Problem solved. :D
 
Driving it is the quickest way to get it to operating temp...why the concern? There's no harm in driving it when it's cold, as long as the oil is flowing properly. (IE - I let my 'warm' for 10 secs before taking off, but that's it)
