Steam out exhaust ??
Cold weather just started and I get steam out the exhause for a period of time after I start her up...I think its normal but I wanted to check ?
Its usually right when the engine gets to its warm stage and when I shut it off, if I start it back up it steam ?

Hmm ... I should try to iron my work shirt in the morning using my exhaust
Oh wait, what about carbon??? Do we have carbon coming out of the exhaust too?
Akkk, I do have carbon ... and steam ... my Max is destined for doom
Don't worry Marty, steam is normal, you might also see a little water drip especially if you make alot of short trips. A nice long, FAST (optional, but recommended to reach a higher state of consciousness) drive will 'dry' it out.

it is dangerous to drive the car with these major problems, as a favor, I will take the car off you're hands for 20 bucks, it cannot be fixed, the damage is irreversible, dont even try to take it to a mechanic, just let me help you out
jus playin man, its all gravy,
