Re: Why do some cars have white smoke?
umm.. Mine smokes white after the car is warmed up during the colder days. This started after I installed the offroad x-pipe. No loss of oil and water either. Anyone care to explain that?

Re: Why do some cars have white smoke?
sometimes there is more condensation when water builds up in the exhaust and pools either in the pipes or the muffler. that's why people with very short commutes end up buying lots of exhausts, their cars never run long enough to burn off all the water, the water sits in the exhaust and eventually rust forms.
