is it the cold or the car?

When I go to turn my car on in the morning it seems like it is idleing pretty high. It is usually at 2000rpm when I start it but then if I let it sit for a couple mins it will drop down to under 1000. Is it just because of the cold and letting it sit for a couple hours or is this a normal problem? I want to take it into the dealership to have them look at it but if it just because of the cold then I don't want to feel retarded. I just want to know what is normal or the usual for everyone else when they first start up there car. Is there a difference between the summer and the winter for everyone on how there cars do perform? Thanks for the help!

It is normal and not a problem at all.

My car does that too... its been getting cold in cali lately at night. so when i start it, its right around 2000 RPM... and when i drive it after a few the clutch is really touchy too. after the temp guage gets up a bit its perfectly fine!!!

Every Vibe does that, even in the summer though it doesn't idle as long at 2000rpm.
