RE: blue smoke a tail pipe
This is common with the new 3v 4.6. It happens when you turn the car on and shut it down before the motor heats up (i.e pulling it out to wash it or something) and start it back up not too long after (hour or two). Mine has done this a couple of times when washing it. This gets asked probably once a week and its common. Dont worry
Now get out there and drive that thing hard...
