white smoke one startup and until engine warms up
my engine smokes like crazy (white smoke) when I'm driving around before the car reaches full operating temp, then it goes away once the needle is in the halfway mark.

White smoke? It could be trouble. How does it smell? Sweet?
A little bit of white smoke ppl tend to dismiss as condensation... a lot? well u may have coolant o-ring failure.

I'm told the real problem is when white smoke appears when you restart a warm engine after a brief stop. (Like a fill-up at the station). Generally white 'smoke' is a lot of condensation steaming off as it warms up.
Mine makes some pretty hefty steam clouds now and then - usually in the morning. Champagne bubble test and compression test come out great.
