Default Smokey?

Hello Everyone...just a question. I just got my crossfire a month ago and it's an 06 with 19 thousand miles on it. The one thing that I am noticing is when you first fire her up...there is quit a bit of smoke that bellows out. Once you run her...she is fine and doesn't do it again until after she has sat over night. Does everyone else's do this?

Almost all cars do that when they're cold. It's more noticeable in colder weather. It's nothing to be worried about unless it's thick light blue or black smoke.

I have never seen any smoke at all out of my Crossfire ..cold or hot starts.
Now if it's cold it may be steam and not smoke you are seeing. As the cay exhaust get hotter this should be less noticeable.

I think that what they meant by smoke, I hope that's what they meant.

Does it look like this? This is normal. P.S. pics not that good compared to what it looks like sometimes.

I've noticed on some mornings I too have a bit of white smoke coming out while sitting at the first traffic light of the day. After that, it's gone.
