Sorry, sort of off topic...

I was following someone driving a dodge pickup today. It was lifted real high, had completely useless large nubby balloon tires and generally looked like a teenager with a inferiority complex....

Anyway, the truck had a loud exhaust on it, but whenever the person accelerated, even a little, some blue smoke came out of the tips, not much, and it didn't continue long after he started accelerating. Assuming he was taking care of his engine, is there any modification of a engine that someone would do if they actually wanted the effect? Or is this only indicative of a seal/piston ring problem?

If I'm seeing blue smoke from my exhaust, it's a trip to the shop for my truck

Black Smoke with a Diesel

 

Cute, probably fails emissions though

But blue smoke...? It's like advertising a bad engine.

 

sounds like he's burning oil to me... i know a lot of dodge intrepids/stratus/etc cars do that, they smoke right when they start accelerating and then you cant see it anymore

 

That explains it. Sorta throws off the look of his 'cool' truck when it spits blue smoke all the time
