Default white smoke from the exhaust.

when i start the car lets just say in the mourning, white smoke comes out of the exhaust for at least 10 mins. the smoke clears up as soon as i start driving. it only happens when i start the car. is this normal. i do burn 3/4 of a quart every 3k miles. car only has 21k miles

I'm pretty sure it's condensation, unless your car smokes A LOT more than usual.

in the 30s last night w00t!

the sooner this winter gets here, the sooner I can stop worrying about fixing my damn car and just live in Stratton on the weekends.

although I will miss the late night drags in Danbury in the freezing cold lol
