Default Exhaust Smoke

Does your nbs chevy smoke at idle when its around 60*F outside? anyhwere (obv under 32 it will) but 45-65 or so it smokes when it idles...and when I run it hard down the highway people behind me tell me itll smoke for a second or two when im taking off? Normal? I do a lot of highway driving so it cant be built up that bad?

It doesn't have to be below freezing to see white smoke come out of your exhaust. A thin cloud of white vapor that quickly dissipates after leaving the tailpipe is probably the result of normal condensation buildup inside the exhaust system. It should disappear after only a minute or two of engine operation. It may even be accompanied by a slow drip of water. This is a common sight when cars, even new ones, are first started in the morning, since condensation builds up overnight like dew on the grass.
