Check your dip stick - if there is a white, milky substance mixed with the oil at the bottom of the stick, you better get that pig a new head gasket asap. Otherwise you won't be driving at all.

And what kind of bullsh*t state writes you a letter that claims some jerkoff reported smoke? You could just phone up the cops and report anyone you wanted just to screw up thier day. Hmmm... now that idea entices me ("Hello? I'd like to report an Enzo blowing white smoke")

Just got back from checkin my dipstick and it all looks good. No white, milky substance at all.
- And belive me, I was just as shocked like all of you when I got that stupid letter. I guess people have nothing better to do than to call in about every car that throws smoke.

No milk? That's good news for you - and your ride.

Now Isuggest you to take baddog671's idea and run with it.

I don't know where you live, but here in SoCal you can call 1-800-CUT-SMOG and report somebody for being a gross polluter. No joke! Now you may think that is not cool, but there have been many a time that I wanted to call after seeing a car smoking so bad that it looked like one of those East German Trabants.

If your car really wasn't smoking there is a process in place to challenge the report such as taking it to the DMV or local Highway Patrol office to show them it doesn't smoke. Of course, if it does smoke, then that wouldn't (and shouldn't) work.

I never knew... While I actually think it's a good idea to cut down on pollution, it seems like a violation to think they can force you into a corner you have to fight out of based on anyone's word. Still, if I was in CA and saw a thundercloud driving down the street, I would be tempted to call... for the cars sake. Poor East German Trabant... nobody loves you.

I'm in Maryland - around here if you try to report something the cops come investigate YOU. And most cars heredon't make it to thier 15th birthday - so smokers are rare - normally they are new cars driven too hard.
