Open Question: White smoke coming from exhaust of a new car?
I just bought an ‘04 Chrysler 300 from a dealership the other day. Everything seems to be working fine but today I’ve noticed some white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe when at idle. It isn’t much, but just enough to be noticeable. The smoke disappears when I start moving again. Is this normal, or would I need to take it in for service already?
I did put in a different type of gasoline the day I bought it, could this have an effect?

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 04:47:29 GMT Open Question: If I gave you all the following would you vote for me, Dartagnon Puissant, as President of the USA?
OK … here’s the deal. WE have NO good choices for President so much as I think the pay is too cheap and the President has to put up with a lot of guff (they START with dark hair and a smile and by the time they leave they have grey hair and an attitude) I will make the sacrifice for you miscreants, even though my record sucks and I’m just a tad anti-govt, but that’s a good quality in a President, isn’t it?
Here’s the deal! I will FIRE the House and Senate and put in computers. You can go online at home or the library or at Starbucks and tell your computer representative what you want and the computer will analyze it and see what is reasonable and then draft a bill and present it to the House of Computer Representatives and the Senate of Computers and it will pass … or not.
NEXT, I will ENFORCE the 16th Amendment and make the corporations be responsible for ALL The taxes as our forefathers, or whoever wrote the 16th Amendment, meant and the American citizens will NOT have to pay income tax.
NEXT, I will make GM, Chrysler, and Ford make at LEAST 50% of their cars run on electricity and they will NOT need to be charged since they will use solar panel skins, energy creating brakes, and all the cool energy producing devices known to man to help power them forever. I’ll make sure that the cars will run for 50 years so that there will be no maintenance other than regular services but you might have to take out a 50 year loan to pay for them since we want to keep the car companies in business.
NEXT, I will pass a bill, with the help of my computer buddies in the House and Senate that will offer solar panels to EVERY American Household and the Power companies will be in charge of regulating how much energy comes INTO the grid and disperse it accordingly to keep a BALANCE of energy throughout the country. Eventually, within 10 years, I will phase out gasoline burning cars and houses will no longer run on oil and Exxon will have to come up with some other skam to make outrageous profits. Actually they can sell the oil to the tire manufacturers until we ban tires and use fans to propel our cars.
NEXT, we will erect a BIG WALL OF the USA that will be BIGGER than China’s. And I will make FDR’s road projects look like nothing in comparison. Everyone who is out of work will be able to work on the GREAT WALL of FREEDOM and when it’s done we’ll put our military on top of it to patrol the borders and keep EVERYONE out unless they pay at least $20,000 for a Green Card.
NEXT, to take care of the National Debt I’ll make marijuana LEGAL but only when purchased from the Post Office vending machines or those in the IRS buildings. The profits will go toward the National Debt. ALSO, prostitution will be regulated and kept totally clean and safe and LEGAL and ALL profits will go toward the National Debt and you will be able to call the Post Office, Pimping Division, to make appointments. Your wife will never need to suspect you UNLESS she sees a postal truck in front of your house at night.
NEXT, gambling will be LEGAL in all 50 States and will either be run by the Indians or the Mafia but all proceeds will go to the government and the profits will once again go toward the National Debt.
Next, the taxes from the corporations will NO LONGER be used for War since we will make peace with the world and we will not ALLOW bad people to come into the country. The wall will keep the world’s miscreants out and OUR miscreants in so there won’t be any trouble for anyone in or out of our country.
With NO govt corruption we won’t need the MIF or IMF or IFM and we’ll make the govt in charge of interstate roads, and perhaps ALL roads, and bridges, and National Parks, and parks in general.
Then, I’ll declare all LAWS Illegal and we will have only ONE law and that will be “Harm ye NO ONE!” The first offense will be punishable by paying the person back for harming them financially, or if you harm someone physically they will be able to do the same thing back to you or we will have the option of letting the person CHOOSE to put the offender into the old classic, STOCKS! And they will be ridiculed publicly. EVERYONE who does not break THE Law will get a REWARD at the end of the year for Christmas. The ones who do break the law get NO Christmas bonus for them!
We will let the world know to LEAVE US ALONE! Anyone who attacks us in any way will be ruthlessly attacked, AND PILLAGED, by us, and our troops from the GREAT WALL OF FREEDOM. We will devastate their country and take EVERYTHING of value and their women will be put to work in our Post Offices. I like to think that NO ONE will ever attack us again but if so … THEY WERE WARNED! Unlike Bush though we will enter their country and RAZE it one foot at a time until the whole country is destroyed and then we will pour salt on what is left. The people will be escorted out before we destroy the country and their women will be shipped off to our Post Offices.
Yahoo cut off the rest of it but I think that basically covers everything but if you can think of anything I missed please notify your local Senatebot or Congressbot. Oh yeah, I also want $1 million / year. That way I won’t be tempted to take bribes. But you won’t be paying taxes and our National Debt should be paid off totally in 20 years, especially if I authorize the placement of Viagra in the water supply.
That SHOULD be IT!
Vote for Dartagnon Puissant, U.S. President, and don’t worry about my record. IT’s minor compared to the ones in our govt now and I wouldn’t want to be sentenced to a Postal Penal Colony or hard labor in the Marijuana Fields and THE law will apply to me as it does to everyone else, so help me God.
I AM Dartagnon Puissant and I APPROVE this message!
TOUGH CROWD! But how can you JUDGE me if YOU don’t READ my PROPOSAL. I mean, it sounds really GOOD to me. What more could you guys want? Free massages? Come on, GIVE PEACE A CHANCE!
