Default Help!!!

I'll try to keep this short....I'm driving to work this morning and was at a red light, light turned green and when I gave it gas the car went up to 3-4 thousand rpms and just shook. Not sure if I gave it too much gas but I heard a tire chirp die to the painted white lines on the road and lost it's pep. Get to another light and it stalled out. Wouldn't stay running and when I could get it running bunch of white smoke coming from the exhaust. Finally made it to work but nothings leaking, no smell nothing. What the hell is going on??

That appears way too serious, with way too many possibilities to diagnose over the internet. White smoke to me indicates a possible blown head gasket or other internal engine issue. You need a mechanic to inspect it and maybe pull some codes, if any are available. Also please advise of your model year and mileage. Is it still under the drive train warranty?

You could have a failed transmission, clogged catalytic converter or some other smog component, a blown head gasket or several other things. What did the temperature gauge show? Any warning lights come on?
