i go out to the garage to move the E out as just as I start the car 2 things happen - a big plume of blue smoke blows out of the exhaust and the visit workshop with the pic of the battery shows up. So I shut er down and put the car away until I can get to the shop tomorrow.

Instead I just did a little cleaning and cleaned up under the hood - a steam clean is definitely in order during the next detail.

has this happened to anyone else? if so, what is it? I am assuming it is just the batter but not sure of the smoke - car is 2004 with 45K and orig battery -
