was the smoke out the vent or the exhaust?

I cant tell how much smoke is in the pics but when i worked at dealers. Typically a vehicle with a v8 like an suv would smoke a bit for s short time.Originally Posted by Ran
that one was a v10 prototype.Originally Posted by Sport1.3
Seriously? My mother's V8 Toyota SUV didn't smoke and neither did my Mustang. Is this a European thing?Originally Posted by EJ25RUN

its brand new with no miles. i worked at a honda dealership and when we would p.d.i. (pre delivery inspection) we would have to drive the s2k's about 30 miles for the test drive or until it stopped becouse people wouldnt buy a new car that smoked would they. about 10 miles for a civic, 15 miles for a v6 accord. ect. ect. every now and then you would have a guy that wanted a car with zero miles and well, it would smoke.Originally Posted by Ran
how many people have bought 0 mileage cars!!

if i had the money to get what i wanted 100% id be the same way...lol plastic on the tires/hood/seats everything..Originally Posted by Sport1.3
impossible,i i know when i worked at Subaru pdi was 14 miles and the lowest miles i had ever sold was for an STI with 8. That car lived in the showroom from the day we got it to sale. Not one test driver. I forced the guy to drive another sti cause we were not gonna put miles on that one.Originally Posted by JITB
the R8 made my eyes water when i drove one back in january. and I've heard of new cars smoking as well.
I know that twice my parents have ordered a car and been there when it was being taken off the truck in full plastic (one was an early 90s Legend the other a 2006 350Z). Although I have no idea if they had any miles on them or if they smoked. Do cars have 0 miles straight off the truck or is there already a pdi done before that?
Something you should've done with that Mustang.Originally Posted by Ran

Go back to the WL.
r8 is sickness!!!!... I have heard they will also have an avail. v10 soon???
its really really hard to buy a car with 0 miles. because they are driven out of the factory and onto a truck... that will put atleast .1 miles on it... then off the truck into the lot or show room... or maybe to the gas station and back to put gas in it... They will have a few miles on them.
Thats what warrenty is for. I have seen brand new cars(not just european cars) in worse shape then that.
