Cars Smoking!

Today we took my car on a trip with my dad following......Turns out that my car is smoking when you give it the gas.....My car is a feb. 03 C230 Coupe with 8,900 miles on it! I am more worried than angry at this point......it has also started a sometimes bad idle on its first start in the mornings..... The rpm's will go down the car will shake then they will go back up and continue this for a few seconds then smooth out....It has not had its first service yet it says 1,500 till service A......

Dang, Hitman. I know how you feel. Sorry to hear that. My first AMG wagon's engine exploded on the highway once. Hope it all goes well.

Yeah i know!!!

I dont think i can get them to take it in GRRR Its like my parents are to ****ing lazy to take my car in when it has to me a big problem!

If i could i would take it in my self!

I bet the only way it is going to go in before service A is due is if it breaks down

you can. if the parentals have to be involved, just have them call a service mgr and say the car is comming in. Call up ur boy and have him pick it up when you get there and take you back when they finish. Problem solved!
if its that ez?!?!?!?!?!?!?
