Well it was a car that I was test driving at a dealership so I don't know what gas or oil they had in it. I would assume that it probably was sitting in the lot for a few days without being driven. The smoke looked exactly like the one in the video so I guess it's not just that one. Is it normal? I'm still not so sure.

Black smoke means trouble. I'll reconsider b4 buying that car. Have it inspected b4 purchasing the car. Hopefully just dirty old oil and not sludge.

I just did the same thing in my car and no visible exhaust at all. Hmm...
