the smoke looks like a table and the license plate looks like something else.

Where can I get some information about this stuff? I'm always looking for a way to keep my car running smoother and stronger for longer. It's gotta make it through college when I can finally make some real money!

Agreed, because the turn out is not always great with seafoam. Water works just as well to steam clean the inside of your engine.

WTF, are you sure? I think tranny fluid is more of a lubricant. And the smoke you saw was the fluid burning in the combustion chamber, kinda like when u burn oil, it smokes.
