first let me say I LOVE the Max! I took a road trip down to Va today, oh....I'm in NJ and it performed beautifully, my only problem is that while driving around 80-85mph, when I gave the car more gas, I could see a cloud of grayish smoke coming out the rear of my car, I don't understand why, does someone know....?

Also when I got to VA, there was some smoke from under the hood too, when I opened it up it sorta disappreared. but I would love to know why there is smoke to begin with, oh...also I smoked the S*** out of a suuupppedd up accord...he was eating nothing but gray maxima smoke!....hehe..

You had better keep a close eye on the coolant level. It really sounds like a head gasket leak.

Whats the exhaust smell like?

You might like sniffing the exhaust a little too much...but what the exhaust smells like can tell alot. Just bend down and get a whiff. Does it smell normal?
