GL 550 smoke at start up

Drove our '08 GL550 to an event yesterday and the vehicle sat approximately 5 hours (10am to 3pm). At 3pm my wife starts it (I wasn't around at the time) and she noticed some smoke (white in color) that lasted about 5 seconds (vehicle ran fine though). It was washed one week prior and sat in our garage all but for one quick drive to the store (approx 5 mile round trip).

There wasn't any smoke when I started it yesterday morning and the vehicle was parked out in the open on level surface during the 5 hour event.

Clear-to-white smoke for a few seconds on start-up wouldn't be considered abnormal.

Curious, is the Obama version as good as the Dodge?

Sorry but it's early here and I'm missing the question. Are you talking about the 2007 vs. 2009 Chargers?
