I think I'm screwed....
Just woke up this morning... Drove some 100 feet, then slightly noticed that I can't breath because my car is shooting out TONS of blue-ish smoke...
So I'm guessing something internal is gone....? I think I'm going to cry.... Although it would explain why my car has been feeling slower and slower....

whoa your right...
I really don't know what the hell is going on with my car. I just drove the thing to my school, and during the drive it seemed to pour less and less smoke out. Once I got to the school I revved it some and still little to no smoke. Only a little bit of white smoke at the end of each rev (that would happen normally on such a humid/cold day)

what? blue smoke = too much oil
white smoke = coolant
check ur plugs if ur car feels slower and slower
worked out for me anyways, thats from running super rich, kills plug off so damn fast

what? blue smoke = too much oil / over rich - smell the exhaust if is smells a lot like gas - over rich.
white smoke = coolant or cold day startup
check ur plugs and coils / wires if ur car feels slower and slower

if a gasket is going out though, wouldn't the gasket not work that well until the engine reaches operating temperature? I'm about to find out soon if the problem only exists at a cold start...
I'm just so worried because I don't have a rear O2 sensor, I have that RB race flash (if I took the car to a dealer with the stock cat but still this flash then they'll be confused), header, and intake...
Also, my plugs and wires are 5,000 miles old...

okay... well I talked it over with my friend... I think I just might be a little overly protective... Also a friend of mine who owns an 8 recently had his engine go out, so that thought is terrorizing me in my dreams...
But my friend and I think it might just be normal. Considering that 30 seconds before I shut the car off I floored it up to 100, that's probably where all the excess oil is coming from, and the white smoke is just Houston and it's humidity...
I going with this theory until I cold start... I can't even function at school thinking that my 8 might be broken...

blue smoke while your driving at op. temp is burning oil.
white smoke is normally a head gasket leaking coolent into the chamber.
dark black smoke is running very very very rich. (my camaro has that problem)
If its bluish when you start the car but it goes away after awhile that just means that some oil is leaking into the chamber after you turn the car off, which is also bad.

car works fine... It scared the crap out of me so much that it makes me laugh knowing how it happened... Cold, humidity, & excess oil somehow caused me to not be able to not breath with the windows down a little bit. I've revved the engine back and forth and forced it to begin dumping oil before, so I know what blue smoke looks like coming out of a straight pipe from this engine. It just dumped like a 5 minute version of that, with an extremely dense beginning... I couldn't help but freak out... I was just idling so I thought something was greatly wrong...
It almost makes me want to do the same thing tomorrow and see if I get the same effect...
Other than that you can delete this whole thread. Notice to others, I sometimes allow myself to act like an idiot being a little "out of bounds"

on my old POS integra, my brake master cylinder was leaking brake fluid into the brake booster. Fluid got sucked into the inake and burned off massive amounts of white smoke. check your brakes.

What you describe sounds crazy, but the problem is all ready solved...
