This happen alot? This sometimes is the sign of a blown head gasket or possibly a crack in the head, intake or cylinder.
Haven't taken it up to 90+ MPH often.
Not sure, this was after stop 'n go driving for about 10 minutes, idled for 5-10 at a drive-thru, then hopped on the freeway. Punched it up to 80+, then when it was 90 MPH and in 3rd it began to expel white smoke(new clutch?), seemed to do it more the harder I accelerated. Seemed really white, if any other color at all 'perhaps' slightly darker than straight white?. I've checked UOA before(no coolant) and a compression test 2 years ago when the engine was purchased, it passed...maybe the intake or head/cylinder is cracked??? It loses 1 quart every 3,000 miles.
Seems to drive fine, though...and UOA show good results.
Keep an eye on coolant and oil.
