Thank You JRV !!!!

It does feel good to finally drive it again. Today was very cold but very sunny. I got groceries in it, then went to the auto parts store for misc. stuff, and then just drove in the country for a bit. There is something odd however, sometimes but not all the time, when starting it will puff smoke. I'm not too concerned about it...but it also does this under hard acceleration...but only once in a while (maybe 1 out of 6 times). It's not a lot of smoke, but just a slight haze...so little that I really can't tell if it's just due to running rich or if it's oil burning. I did "beat" on her a bit this afternoon and after 3 hard runs it seemed to clean up. Are these common occurances for TRs? I would think a good tune would cure this?
