Every car has that when you start it from cold.
Moisture condensated in the exhaust will evaporate and "blow" out while it's heating up.

Guess you never saw a good winter, huh?

Not sure I would call 65 degrees F a "good winter". That's practically spring...

I know all the cars need to warm up man, I am not that dumb but I dont think they take 20 min to warm up in such a nice weather.
