I have had my stook for about a month and a half. I have 2400 miles. I was waiting in my driveway with the engine running and noticed a awful lot of white smoke coming from the exhausts. It wasn't really cold or anything and maybe I only noticed it because I was sitting in my driveway waiting for the person I carpool with to show up. Is this most likely related to the choke? And yes the oil level is fine. It runs great and drove it over 100 miles today with no problems. Seem normal to you guys?

A condensation-like white smoke is normal when it's cooler outside and the engine isn't up to operating temperature. If the engine is warmed up and the outside temperature is warm you may have a problem and I would have your dealer look at it.

I think it was just because of the temp. being in the morning. I noticed this afternoon that I didn't notice it. I think I just had never noticed it before and I am being overly precatious!

Don't worry, the Stook doesn't have a choke per se. Like all modern cars, it has a computer which controls all the parameters of the correct engine settings. No sweat.
