lol OP taking paranoia to a whole new level. Your car is fine. as said it's just steam. my car does it too but it creates 10 times that amount when first started after a good week of sitting.

That's steam. You're just burning off condensation that has formed in the exhaust tubing and mufflers. Totally normal.

Looks like bearing farts to me. I wouldn't be revving my motor with it being completely cold either.

Agreed, you need to keep engine load low when it's cold.
