So yesterday I stopped by a local store and left my car running while I ran in to get a couple things. Was inside for max of 5 minutes and when I came out there was quite a bit of white smoke coming out the exhaust. I have only noticed this at first start up a few times, mainly when it is cold outside. But this was enough to when I backed up it covered the car. Haven't noticed anything since then. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I be concerned? I let it idle for a while later in the evening and didn't see anything. Oh and before this I had been driving like a grandma (my mom was in the car) So it wasn't "hot" from running around.....

it was 65+degrees yesterday when this happened....it didn't really smell like oil but couldn't really describe the smell to be honest....I guess it sounds like it is somewhat normal, if it gets worse or happens more I will have to take it to the stealer.
