Default smoking vette...............

I posted a topic on the forum about six months ago concerning a problem I was having then...and am still experiencing........a knocking noise when I start it in the morning.......well I am sorry to say that I am still experiencing that problem, but I have recently had something happen that I am curious if any one else has experienced.......I left the car sit for five days due to a computer glitch that occured right before I was leaving town.......all types of warnings occured and the information center informed me that the engine was operating at reduced power.....this coupled with a zero oil pressure indication and a almost total loss of electrical power.....well anyway I immediately shut the car down and let it sit for a couple of minutes and then restarted it......to no avail.......I shut it down again....let it sit......and then restarted it.....this time it seemed ok....all functions returned to normal.....well at this point I didnt want to drive the car so I let it sit for five days while I was out of town....and when I returned I started the car up and a huge cloud of blue smoke eminated from the rear......not good.......I also noticed that the car has used a quart of oil in the past two to three weeks.....this car has six thousand miles on it and is ten months old....... ..Any ideas...:U

Ya, take it back to the dealer ASAP. Make a list of what has been going on. Oh yeah, if you can, take your mods off if you have any ;)
