probably water vapor or condensation in your exhaust, so thats wat cause the smoke, depends how much it is though? on my car every morning i start it up i get a lil smoke out the tail pipe while i warm up

Hmm. I'm not too sure, but I think it definitely has something to do with your lack of driving the car. (I know it's not your fault). From what I've heard, you need to run the car in full throttle 0-60, shifting above 5,000 RPM. (It is also a good idea to do this twice a month for as long as you own the car.) This keeps the soot out of the exhaust pipe, cleans the catalytic converter, and evaporates the water that is made there. If you do not do this, the exhaust system will rust from the inside out!
