Default Vibration after startup

Not sure if this is typical or not.
Happens every time after I start the car. Once I have moved a few feet, I feel (and hear) a vibration in the floorboard. Lasts for about a second. Kinda like something is calibrating, sorta like the vibration from abs. It has done this as long as I have had it.
Is this normal?

good.
They should put a sticker inside the car outlining the odd but 'normal' behaviours

1. vibration after startup - normal
2. that funny shifting feeling at 50 mph - normal
3. twitchy steering when you romp on it - normal
etc....

Mine has done that since new. It feels like ABS to me, but I have paid it no attention since it has literally always done that.

Mine vibrates when I start moving after startup. It's the ABS no worries.
