really bad smoking..then it stops..

what is wrong with my car? it starts fine...and there is no smoke at all for a few minutes, then the car just starts billowing out white smoke. I have just started to drive this car and the car has been sitting before i got it for about 7mos or something like that..can somebody tell me what is going on? the car looks like a POS when it does this...and this is not how rx7s are supposed to be!!! thank you

Wrong forum but usually when you start fogging the neighborhood with white smoke you've blown an o-ring which allows coolant to dump into a combustion chamber. Search and you'll find tons of information on this common problem and more than likely you'll need an engine rebuild.
