Engine runs really rich during warmup, risking cylinder wall washdown, dilution, and wastes gas.
I start, idle it settles down just a bit (15-20 sec) then drive away easy. I don't beat on it until fully warmed up.
On a carbed car, I drive away as soon as it will idle on it's own, usually a minute or so.
You need to get the fluids moving and heat generated ASAP to minimize wear.
