Well this cold weather might have killed my Impala .
The air temp is -26 right now. Wind chill is near -45. Started it up made some funny noises then exhaust just started pouring out white smoke.
Let it heat up for about 10 minutes no more smoke start driving and it sounds like a fucking golf cart. Turn around and head home after going a block.
Im hoping its just the weather as I dont have the money to fix this issue till the start of February. Hopefully tomorrow when im going to work it being about 15 degrees warmer will help.
Speaking of work I might get fired because of my girlfriend and her friend. I work at a deli in a major grocery store and get a size-able discount. I am aloud one extra card for a person in my household if we share food ( IE wife life partner only).
Well she brings her friend along and lets her ring up over 100 bucks worth of shit then her friend pays with her credit card. The discount card is tied to my girlfriend name and the transaction will be flagged and I will be immediately fired according to corporate policy . I make them try to return the food and pay the difference and they wont take it back.
The girls are like whats the big deal why are you mad . You are being an asshole . Try to explain to them it is stealing from my employer and show them where it is in the handbook I got my first day. The worst part of this is me and my girlfriend got into a huge fight over money 5 days ago and then she gets me fired.

Gonna call HR now and see if I cant get this sorted out before they can my ass. This shit gots me so pissed im thinking of moving out.

White smoke is Coolant, so if you see white smoke a blown head gasket is a very likely cause
lets hope the smoke just seemed white cuz it was so cold

Yeah I know the head gasket was already replaced about 15k miles ago.
Maybe just one of the plastic rings could have been a bit cold and not doing its job

Ya man, all this rain is gonna turn to Ice tonight, gonna be interesting, pretty sure its suppose to be below 20 tomorrow.
I'm feeling a bit down today, the holidays are officially over, its back to the grind. Try to adjust and get back into the groove of things. I'm finally trying to get a solid sleep schedule in place where I'm not goin to sleep at 3am and sleeping still 3pm

Spent the last few hours outside.
It is not the head gasket . But it I am getting a small amount of knocking in on of the pistons I will have to take into the shop next week. If it was 100 degrees warmer I would just try to fix it my self and take a buss or cab into work. But with the real feel at -55 right now that just aint happening.
The golf cart noise was my serpent belt and wheels covered in half frozen gunk. Dont think its coolant as it didnt smell sweet. Also didnt have more then a few drops of water come out of the exhaust while I was idling it for 30 minutes.
Did notice a small whole in my exhaust but im more worried about the small loss of power and the clicking. Hoping its just a sensor or spark plug misfiring .
Since I spent a good 3 hours outside today Im gonna sit back and take some kratom. I have been relatively sober the past few months. Trying to figure out this sudden weight gain.
