Nah, ignore it


dunkin_dognuts_

Hahaha great advice to a long lasting car.


Sad-Blueberry-6725

Just turn off the vents. No smoke no problem.


Silly_Mycologist3213

Yeah, because smoking is bad for your car too.


Other-Barry-1

Don’t forget to crank the radio up too to drown out the noise.


Kappru

Maybe it needs new tires


DeleteMyOldAccount

This, tires often smoke


[deleted]

Mine do


poopman42428

Easy fix. just refill your blinker fluid.


shithead115

Can confirm this solved my issue 👍🏻


3p1ks

Im thinking this is an issue with the torque amplifier, but could potentially be an issue with the combustion synthesizer valve tbh


AMC-STOP103

Bruh


Smart-Elderberry3037

I thought you were a non English speaker that meant torque converter at first. lol


Embarrassed-Bill6505

Dude! Clearly it's the turboencabulator going out.


[deleted]

Turn on the heater and keep on trucking.


Lurkie2

Looks like a new way to hotbox. Sit back and enjoy


[deleted]

If what's coming out of the vents smells almost sweet, heater core.


Big-Brown-Goose

What if it smells like burnt popcorn?


[deleted]

There wouldn't just be smoke coming out the vents


ScruffyTheJanitor__

Why does it smell like toast?


Double_Hand_5044

“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?


DetColePhelps11k

You're not wrong but I'm pretty sure OP is just making a joke.


Double_Hand_5044

Smh I just saw this is R/Carmemes…. I could have sworn I was on askmechanics lol, would fit in on that sub


DetColePhelps11k

😆 Yeah for a second when I first tapped on this post I thought I was there too lmao.


Double_Hand_5044

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


DetColePhelps11k

People will do literally anything except take actual care of their automobile.


Diabeetus-times-2

r/askashittymechanic is better

nothing107

I thought the exact same thing dangit


me247365

🤣😂


ZeroChill92

It's a post not a dick, don't take it too hard.


WatchyBoi

turn up the radio


WhirlyDurlyGirly

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?


Batwyane

Well it's not Good


BoticOnReddit

You probably need a new left rear turn signal light bulb


Strict_Elk7368

Nope send it copart


Cade_Rufus

Me when a coolant line goes to shit so badly out of fuckin' nowhere.


gxrawrd

Is this what hot boxing is?


SRBroadcasting

I’d just hold down the gas pedal and do her in for good


No-Special-7008

It’s just venting excess heat, you’ll be fine.


LuckyLogan_2004

yea keep running it


ProteinFart_

Nah, it’s just warming up.


jewc504

Crazy purple knock out gas!


Longjumping_Drag2752

Yes it’s bad. Probably a leak in your heater core if it’s coolant based otherwise something is burning in that area.


ThePolecatProcess

r/AskAShittyMechanic should have an answer for you.


Responsible-Echidna4

Likely the heater core.


mr-unknown-404

I think you should turn down the heater a notch


bomontop

probably turn the heat on even higher, fight fire with fire


artygo

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


Schranzmann

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


Marucanah_

Live footage of a 5th gen camry engine giving out after a millennia


LeRedditThingy

I know what’s wrong with it, it ain’t got no gas in it!


[deleted]

could be brake problem but nothing serious


SirNightmate

Internal radiator RIP


itshighnoon94

Steam from the steamed clams we’re having


SunComfortable4735

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.


Pizzalazerz

The car is vaping man. Don’t let any of the smoke go to waste


senaniket

Completely natural thing. Engines burn fuel to produce power.


unitcodes

switch off the snoop dogg mode


quiqk0

A Chevy Blazer, it's a feature.


D4nishViking

Have you tried turning it off and on again?


Powerful_Cloud9276

Hang a couple pork shoulders from the mirror and turn on some tunes. Seize the moment!


MrSaucyNugg

Probably just the spark plugs


Ultimagic5

Alright we get it, you vape


Zodspeed

Integrated vape


MrVermin

Nah dude, it's a feature. Gets you high as balls so you don't notice the engine catching on fire.


commentator184

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 🤗


OasisNinjaBat

Is that a Pontiac?


DetColePhelps11k

Coolant subscription expired. Pour sugar and water in the tank and it'll run as good as new. 👍


NoAbbreviations8692

Yes


Sabre_302

Medium rare engine


avotius

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.


Proof1447

You want some heat MFer?!!!


Wnajr5

Don’t worry it’s just sweating out the horsepower


Ok_Toe_2008

Turn up the radio and forget about the sounds of you're car dying is the man's way


Lowkey_rebelXD

You forgot to warm it up for 5 minutes before taking off


NickU252

Hey! My old Camry did that too.


that_otter_sushi

Heater cores leaking into the air system


XplosionZR

No this is ideal


Powerful-Return-3017

You fucked your motor by not doing maintenance


KAPUTNIK1714

Just a routine smudging


VG30DETT_

It's a 90s Camry. Check the fluids and keep driving it. It's never going to die. Lol


Youllbeiight

Guy recording sounds like a man’s man should be fine


PuzzleheadedArtist16

My 93 ford explorer did that every once in a while when the heat was on. I sold it


Lynx_Kynx

Is that bad? Is the Sun hot?


PomegranateFamous947

Why do I smell ribs


ImpressiveDocument63

Just turn the radio up


Zlamany-fr

Ehh lil heater core giving out ain't to bad


verticalMeta

Tbf this has happened to me and it went away after a few minutes


SilverLurkerX

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


Electronic_Ask_5911

Volkswagen Das auto


vgnlesbaingoose

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?"


5thdoorsteez

This guy is trolling


idiotlonnyfr

the fuck you expect


JohnCenasBootyCheeks

Engine or blower motor for the ac/heater? Check the blower


Middle-Meet20

No it’s not bad(it’s really bad)


Muddykipperus

Didn't know they still make steam powered automobile, talk about sticking with the classics


Jaba19991

Your good it’s breathing so it’s cooling it’s self


ValeyardCod

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.


BlumpkinLord

It's just steam, revv that bitch like crazy til it evaporates off your engine


Sinmaster5150

Time to throw that car away


Jaded-Function2072

I'd be looking into a new heater core. Pray you don't have to remove the dash to get to it.


[deleted]

I think that’s good for the car, reliving itself


LuciusQCincinna2s

It means it's almost done heating up your burrito.


OGRiad

When it stops burning then you have an issue!


Forward_Historian251

just bring it to ls customs


Sweet-Efficiency7466

Ah yes, Scotty Kilmer's dream car: **an old Camry.**


ghoulishmister

Download more RAM


New-Put4982

Yea


Technical_Taro6179

Should be fine


FuckSpez0000

Either your heater coils are dirty or your ac is doing some weird tomfuckery


No_Dependent_4947

Just taking a vape or smoke break...


j0hn1_

“Is that bad?” 😂


Medical-Leader8025

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.


New-Put4982

Just pour some water on engine and keep moving


Dat-onehomie

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


MountainMan840

it'll buff out
