Man your car is dead. It's not going to make it another day, but being the nice guy that I am, I'll give you four hundred dollars for it, and I'll even come get it and drive it home. UH, I mean, have it hauled home..................;)

My car hates the environment too. I leave soot spray marks where I regularly park my car. It's a big triangular shaped mess of soot marks originating from where my tailpipe would be. If it sits for a while it sprays black sooty water much like what you've got there.

Guess the 550's make me run a little rich when cold :)

My huge dual tips do that every time I start it during the winter. It looks pretty funny actually. I like to rev it up a bit (read 3500...not 6000:aigo: ) to get some of the condensation out of the exhaust.

I've notice the same thing with my car. But mine has no cats and it only happeneds when i rev high also.
But it's not like in the pics...mine has the carbon (im gussing thats what it is) in it and thats it, no water, smell or even taste. :biglaugh:

On initial start-up mine does that as well, however I'm pretty sure mine is oil from the turbo seals being blown...

It did leave some nice stains on my white shoes though!
