If that was the first time in a LONG time you drove it like that, I'd suspect it was not smoke, but may have been water vapor from condensation collected in the exhaust system.

Sunnyxfire, I agree with the water vapor mentioned above; do you have an N/A or an SRT6?

Thanks Dave. I was only going to mention that if his white H2O vapor is an ongoing persistent problem in an SRT6, then it could be a failed CAC(intercooler). I suspect that Mark probably had it right, and the OP just unleashed moisture accumulation from conservative and/or infrequent driving. The alternative explanation is an ugly one, so I won't mention it.
