What color is the smoke? Does it smell sweet? Does it get cold where you live? like below or around freezing?

Most likely condensation. You may be running a little rich, but most likely Cond. Where I live, it hasn't been above freezing since the beginning of October, so no matter how warm my truck is, there is always smoke. Its not really smoke, its just the gases condensing due to it being cold and it "smokes" more at start-up/warm up. So its most likely the cold. Your girls car is just different. Probably burns the air/fuel better. Every car is different
