It's a very bad sign. However, I will save you all the time and hassle of trying to fix the car, just ship it to me.

Yes, reminds me of when I lived in Ohio, always liked the smoke from duel exhausts during cold weather.

mine has made white smoke at cold start up 10-12 times in 10 years. not weather related, engine runs smooth, no check eng codes. has done it with stock & non stock tune. shut engine down and restart and no smoke. :dunno:

smoky start up can be common on the DOHC 4V..mustang guys get it as well..I don't think there has ever been a definitive cause as it isnt on everyone. some say valve seals, some say pcv system. etc.

It's a character builder/personality of the car. We all emit fumes, no need to discuss it or find a fix. Just smile and take it all in.

If it's a cold start and the smoke is white or blue it's normal. If it continues for more than a few seconds or is black it requires further investigation. Continuous white vapor is normal if outside temps are cold.

Mine did it for years.....then quit for the last couple years....then......POOF...it blew!!:eek: So be glad yours is doing it!!:beer:

Actually, if you start it and move it to another parking spot then turn it off in "open loop"......after an hour or so re-start it......SMOKE SCREEN!!;)

Won't hurt a thing but I think your photos are water vapor before it warms up completely.....nothing to worry about!!!!:shake:

You are correct Sir!, with only 9100 miles everything's fine.
