whats goin on? My exaust seems to be blowin out a lot of white smoke, and i'm not sure what it is. It smells exactly like Gas, so i'm thinkin it may be the cat, but not sure. and its cold around my way but i don't think it should be blowin out smoke if noone else is doin it that much. What ya'll think it is?

White smoke is coolant. That is a sign of a blown headgasket.

Are you missing coolant? Is your oil milky/frothy? If so theres a good chance your head gasket(s) blew. Dont drive untill fixed if thats the case.
