While you are at it check your muffler. The short trip will not warm the muffler so there is a very stong tendency to collect sulfuric acid in it due to condensation of sulfur oxides and water. Mufflers do not hold up to well to sulfuric and other sulfur acids. When the car is warm/hot most of this condensation doesn't occur and the muffler lasts much much longer.
Bottom Line: Make sure the muffler is still under warranty. Good luck.P.S. As others have said walking doesn't seem to be a bad option.
