So this spring I began to notice my car was putting out blueish exhaust at start up.

Monitored my oil, and sure enough, this thing burns oil like it's going out of style. For awhile after an oil change while it's still nice and full, it will send up such huge plumes of smoke that my neighbors will come out onto their porches and watch to ask what's wrong and take bets on whether I'll make it out of the parking lot.

I probably add about a quart in between oil changes. It leaks it, too. There is so much wrong with this car, though. . .ugh.
