Is it bad if I rev my engine while I’m in park?
Sometimes when the weather is cooler I’ll try to warm my car up by revving the engine in park—is this bad?

No, revving your engine while you’re in park is generally not bad. You can also rev it in neutral without hurting it—just be mindful of how much you’re revving your engine, and for how long. As with anything, too much of a good thing can actually be bad—and revving your engine excessively can cause damage down the line.
