You should wait at least until the engine has stabilized at idle. Most vehicles stabilize within seconds after starting.

Big diesel engines sometimes run for 10 or 15 minutes before they are driven.

Should I start my buick before driving when it's cold outside?

You can't drive a car without starting it first, regardless of how cold it is outside.... If you mean should you warm it up, the answer is no if it is a modern fuel injected car. Just take it easy for about 1 mile or so. If it is an older carburated engine, then yes warm it up for a couple of minutes before driving off.
