Question for the mechanics
i got an 06 w/ 16k miles on it
my volt meter reads about 15.5v when i start it and it would drop down to just above 14.
i'm getting it checked out friday but wanted to find out if it was really really bad for the car?

Is it consistantly doing this just when start up or is it jumping around during driving? ( i know you stated upon start up above). i believe it's fine.
but i'm not a mechanic either.

yup, normal. I had a farad cap. with a monitor top for years. 14-14.5-ish seems to be typical of most alternators on a 12v system.
