strange smoke from ac vents
when i parked this morning, the sun was shining in directly into my cabin.
I had the top up, ac on (it was way too sunny/hot this morning)....
and i noticed that there was a smoke like substance that i could visibly see coming out of the ac vent....
i smelled it, and it smelled mildly "smoke like"....
im wondering - seeing as im <2 weeks into driving a stick, if I'm burning clutch and the smoke is running through the ac vent, or if this is a sign of something worse, or a sign of nothing at all (aka its just the AC and the sun reflected off it funny)...
any help is appreciated.

it has to do with the difference in the temp between the ac air and the in cabin air, esp with the window down and has alot to do with the humidity. Completly normal. Notice on a very hot and humid day that it will happen more often. Dont worry about it and keep driving.

I spoke with a Honda service technician and he already knew what I was talking about before I even finished my sentence.
He said it was normal, I didn't care for an explanation and it doesn't bother me anymore.

I still don't know why it would smell smoky...
but i guess ill just have to wait and see if it reproduces or not.
