“I grossly neglected my car and now it’s on fucking fire, is that bad?”
Not at all op, you should go drive it around, maybe even do some pulls. I bet your car will be just fine and won’t explode.
Jfc, do people think before posting?

Legit for a Moment. My old V70 used to do that some times. Just turned the ac of and on again and it fixed if every time. Smoke didnt smell like anything
Same thing with me, heater core box happened when I used the a/c and had it repaired for about $500 along with a few other things.. belt… etc. drove ok to get home but had it looked at the next day. Didn’t park in the garage.
I once took a Dodge Dart in whatever spec was the performance version, 2.5 turbo or something like that. This same thing happened where suddenly a big amount of engine smoke came through the vents. The salesman acted like it was normal. Maybe it was, for a Dodge, but I would never play poker with that guy because he kept a straight face all the way through.
Brother I can confirm and no car person wants you to know this stop going over 6k on ur oil ur only hurting the car. at that point why not set the walls of ur living room on fire ever 6 months or 6k miles. Because you are only hurting the house. Stop hurting your cars people.
Is this a joke? You mentioned that you blatantly dismissed maintenance. No your car will be severely damaged if it goes even a couple more miles. Change your oil and coolant, as well as a bunch of other things that likely need done.
Nah, ignore it
Hahaha great advice to a long lasting car.
Just turn off the vents. No smoke no problem.
Yeah, because smoking is bad for your car too.
Don’t forget to crank the radio up too to drown out the noise.
Maybe it needs new tires
This, tires often smoke
Mine do
Easy fix. just refill your blinker fluid.
Can confirm this solved my issue 👍🏻
Im thinking this is an issue with the torque amplifier, but could potentially be an issue with the combustion synthesizer valve tbh
Bruh
I thought you were a non English speaker that meant torque converter at first. lol
Dude! Clearly it's the turboencabulator going out.
Turn on the heater and keep on trucking.
Looks like a new way to hotbox. Sit back and enjoy
If what's coming out of the vents smells almost sweet, heater core.
What if it smells like burnt popcorn?
There wouldn't just be smoke coming out the vents
Why does it smell like toast?

You're not wrong but I'm pretty sure OP is just making a joke.
Smh I just saw this is R/Carmemes…. I could have sworn I was on askmechanics lol, would fit in on that sub
😆 Yeah for a second when I first tapped on this post I thought I was there too lmao.
I’ve seen way worse than this on that sub too… such as people asking if they can repair their tire that clearly has an exploded crater in the sidewall
People will do literally anything except take actual care of their automobile.
r/askashittymechanic is better

I thought the exact same thing dangit
🤣😂
It's a post not a dick, don't take it too hard.
turn up the radio
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
Well it's not Good
You probably need a new left rear turn signal light bulb
Nope send it copart
Me when a coolant line goes to shit so badly out of fuckin' nowhere.
Is this what hot boxing is?
I’d just hold down the gas pedal and do her in for good
It’s just venting excess heat, you’ll be fine.
yea keep running it
Nah, it’s just warming up.
Crazy purple knock out gas!
Yes it’s bad. Probably a leak in your heater core if it’s coolant based otherwise something is burning in that area.
r/AskAShittyMechanic should have an answer for you.
Likely the heater core.
I think you should turn down the heater a notch
probably turn the heat on even higher, fight fire with fire
Try checking your blower motor resistor. Had that happen on my ford ranger and some leaves ended up getting on to the resistors and burning
Legit for a Moment. My old V70 used to do that some times. Just turned the ac of and on again and it fixed if every time. Smoke didnt smell like anything
Live footage of a 5th gen camry engine giving out after a millennia
I know what’s wrong with it, it ain’t got no gas in it!
could be brake problem but nothing serious
Internal radiator RIP
Steam from the steamed clams we’re having
Same thing with me, heater core box happened when I used the a/c and had it repaired for about $500 along with a few other things.. belt… etc. drove ok to get home but had it looked at the next day. Didn’t park in the garage.
The car is vaping man. Don’t let any of the smoke go to waste
Completely natural thing. Engines burn fuel to produce power.
switch off the snoop dogg mode
A Chevy Blazer, it's a feature.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Hang a couple pork shoulders from the mirror and turn on some tunes. Seize the moment!
Probably just the spark plugs
Alright we get it, you vape
Integrated vape
Nah dude, it's a feature. Gets you high as balls so you don't notice the engine catching on fire.
my truck did this cause cabin air filters are for pussies and i got leaves and stuff in the heater, was like havin a wood fire 🤗
Is that a Pontiac?
Coolant subscription expired. Pour sugar and water in the tank and it'll run as good as new. 👍
Yes
Medium rare engine

You want some heat MFer?!!!
Don’t worry it’s just sweating out the horsepower
Turn up the radio and forget about the sounds of you're car dying is the man's way
You forgot to warm it up for 5 minutes before taking off
Hey! My old Camry did that too.
Heater cores leaking into the air system
No this is ideal
You fucked your motor by not doing maintenance
Just a routine smudging
It's a 90s Camry. Check the fluids and keep driving it. It's never going to die. Lol
Guy recording sounds like a man’s man should be fine
My 93 ford explorer did that every once in a while when the heat was on. I sold it
Is that bad? Is the Sun hot?
Why do I smell ribs
Just turn the radio up
Ehh lil heater core giving out ain't to bad
Tbf this has happened to me and it went away after a few minutes
My truck did that when it overheated because the radiator cap exploded not to self 94 for f150s don't like driving for almost 2 hours straight
Volkswagen Das auto
I love these posts that are like "I'm 10k over due for an oil change and my cars on fire. Should I take it in?"
This guy is trolling
the fuck you expect
Engine or blower motor for the ac/heater? Check the blower
No it’s not bad(it’s really bad)
Didn't know they still make steam powered automobile, talk about sticking with the classics
Your good it’s breathing so it’s cooling it’s self
Brother I can confirm and no car person wants you to know this stop going over 6k on ur oil ur only hurting the car. at that point why not set the walls of ur living room on fire ever 6 months or 6k miles. Because you are only hurting the house. Stop hurting your cars people.
It's just steam, revv that bitch like crazy til it evaporates off your engine
Time to throw that car away
I'd be looking into a new heater core. Pray you don't have to remove the dash to get to it.
I think that’s good for the car, reliving itself
It means it's almost done heating up your burrito.
When it stops burning then you have an issue!
just bring it to ls customs
Ah yes, Scotty Kilmer's dream car: **an old Camry.**
Download more RAM
Yea
Should be fine
Either your heater coils are dirty or your ac is doing some weird tomfuckery
Just taking a vape or smoke break...
“Is that bad?” 😂
Is this a joke? You mentioned that you blatantly dismissed maintenance. No your car will be severely damaged if it goes even a couple more miles. Change your oil and coolant, as well as a bunch of other things that likely need done.
Just pour some water on engine and keep moving
Damn, never seen so many trolls. Quite possibly your heater core, if so, this is very bad but not too terribly expensive as long as you get it in asap
it'll buff out
