This is getting me worry I took out my car today from storage. I noticed white smoke coming out of the exhaust at idle too. Hopefully it's due to the weather and not a bad seal

Be careful, it's dangerous to run your car in your garage with the door shut. Haven't you seen office space?

"You could give me the number to just one crack dealer i could call him, I have great networking skills!"

Everytime i hear of a problem with a TN kit it is resolved immediately and completely... Gotta love good customer service.
