sometimes i let it warm up for about 2 minutes, and drive off because my parents hate that my car sounds like a helicopter in their driveway. but i dont go over 1500 rpm.
i wanted to know if it is true that when a car has camwork is it imperative that the engine warms up properly before driving it. get at me.

I would let it warm up for about 1-2 minutes if the car has a flat tappet cam. If it has a roller cam it is probably fine a few seconds after startup.
