hah, thought it was just me. Mine did that about 3 weeks ago. I thought it was steam until the cloud lingered in the garage for a while. Only time I'm aware of it's ever done that in 1.5 years. Wouldn't worry about it too much. Car has some pecurliarities that are very rare. My turn signal will quit making noise about once every 5 months. Will do it from between 10 minutes and 3 days, then just as mysteriously, it comes back.
Anybody out there with a better idea?

i'm still finding some of the peculiarities of the vehicle -- no smoke yet, but i've got black residue on my tailpipes
my only peculiarity is when i push the "all-the-way up" button on the driver window, once in a while it will go all the way up, then back off 1/4 of the way
