I went to dinner tonight and on the way home I noticed white smoke, coming from pipes. It's 42 degrees outside. I didn't notice any from any cars I saw beside me. I saw it when I got home. It didn't have any smell to it at all. It just felt warm. My girl friends car was not making any smoke either. I have never seen any during the day when it was warmer out. Am I being paranoid?

I have experienced the same problem with my 600 during the summer months (i live in MS) with temps around 90-100 degrees with a white vapor coming out of the tail pipes. I say that if my dash light doesnt come on then it must be in the design of the car and i just stop worrying about.( my car is serviced routinely)

Rotten eggs? Unlikely - that's usually high sulfur content in the gas. There's a TSB (for information only) on this but it's been common in the US for nearly 40 years. High sulfur content has been a problem for aluminum engines in some cars over the years, particularly European imports. You might want to change gas stations!

"Eggy" (sulfur) smell oftentimes means you have a catalytic convertor going out on you. When they start plugging up, your car's exhaust will smell like that. The next stage is a loss of performance that exponentially comes on pretty quick as they plug up.
