This. My dad always told me to wait till rpm was at 1k then start driving. Whether that's necessary or not, it's what I've been doing for the past 12 years. And I'll prob keep that mentality for life.

But the truth is a minute or so is all you need and then start driving it carefully with shifts under 3k until fully warmed up.
