First Scare i hope
Ok i've searched and as well read every FAQ here (my son can testify lol) spent all morning looking and reading every "smoke" thread and nothing match's what happend to me yesterday... dont know what the hell happend so here is my story....
Yesterday picked up my kid from school and dont know if it loaded up or what, (as we form a line behind the school and wait till we can get in to pick them up, sometimes the line moves quick and some times its a start /stop wait a few mins and move again... anyways) coming up the hill i wanted to use the toggle shifters (first time) and the right one isn't working so i used the left side , went into gear fine and heard someone honking and behind the car was smoke lol.. dont know what rpms it went into gear at but i know it was high as im like
why isn't it shiffting ( i think the right paddle up shift is dead or needs cleaning 
)
I called the dealer and told them what it was doing while it was running(its a chevy dealer where i bought the car btw) and he called me back and said coils are going and could cause it like one of them didn't fire or something and is replacing 2 of them (i have to wait for the check).so i let it idle some more and the smoke cleared up. Went from a grayesh like a cold startup smoke to blue, but no burnt oil smell, smelled like exhaust.
3hrs later wife came home told her and shes asked if i called the dealer and was like yeah, i wasnt even out the car etc etc... so we took it for a drive , no smoke. we came back home and i caved and let her take it for a drive, nothing even got it up to 80mph lol....
fast forward to today I just got back from taking my kid to school, and desided to take it for a few mile trip (down 2 exits on the highway and back threw the county roads) nothing, not even a puff of smoke... oil level is normal, and i notice that there is some in the air box so they (the chevy dealer) maybe over filed it???
dont know, she runs smooth , shifts like butter but it reminded me when my turbo blew on my GSX and it did the james bond smoke screen..... thats what it looked like, but no smell, just exhaust smell....
Oh, and here is the car stuff hehe

No mods what so ever
oil level is fine (has some milky stuff but that is normal)
colant is fine, bottle says its full (checked it cold and hot)
im so
