Hey Scotty,
I have a 2001 Lexus RX300 (225K), every time I parked it outside early in the morning around 6AM, when I returned around 5PM and starts the car, there's lot of smoke coming out of the tailpipe, it's not blue or completely white, more like grayish. The smoke continues for about a minute or less. However, if my park the car inside my garage, even for days without driving, there's no smoke. What could be causing this? Thanks!!!
PS: Really enjoy watching your channel, most honest and educational. Keep up the good works!!

If the smoke is translucent and not opaque white or gray, it is condensation moving through the engine. It is more pronounced on cold, humid mornings. If it dissipates in a few minutes, it's normal.
Much thanks!!
