Weird smoking problem
While I'm driving in the city, the car will smoke but it will only smoke when I take off from a stoplight. it won't smoke any other time except when I'm in the garage revving the **** out of it or in the morning when i start it a little puff comes out. Anyone know what's causing this. It almost seems like it's holding in all the smoke and then when i step on the gas it releases it all at once.

Valve stem seals - a very common problem. The seals go bad over time, leaking oil into the combustion chamber which gets burned. You can live with it, won't hurt anything, or replace the valve stem seals - there are 1000 posts about this, and procedures for replacing the seals, search for "valve stem seals".
