ahhh smoke

Today I went out to the grociery store, i let the car warm up and it did good the whole time. But then on the way home i was cruising at 45 and smoke started coming from the back??? It got pretty bad, the car behind me turned on their headlights lmao. Then like a minute later it stopped. What the crap is wrong with my car?

mine did that once while redlining, it let out so much black smoke that i couldnt see the car behind me. i was like ****!, pulled over and didnt see anything leaking so i started it back up and it never did it again. my compression is great too, musta been a chunk a carbon that luckily didnt get the apex

too weird. Maybe your ACV just failed and there was no air getting into the exhaust and your cats ******* melted inside or something! lol, not to sure..
