A certain percentage of alcohol and drivermany. The his breath . . . you’ve had it. And no chlorophyll gum can help you. Most people know about a similar test you can try on a used car (not that our cars look drunk, mind you, but it’s a similar idea). Almost everybody watches for smoke from the exhaust, but I find a lot of people really dont know what they’re looking for, or why. When you’re browsing around a used car, race the en­ gine a few times and watch the exhaust fumes for blue smoke. It’s the blue you want to look for, not gray or black. What does it all mean? The car that billows blue smoke is burning oil. Eventually, it will require a ring job, as all cars do sooner or later. It’s not a sign of anything fundamentally wrong (the driver in the breath test can be sobered up pretty quickly). If you like the car in other ways it will still be a good buy. We didnt have any blue-smokers on the lot the last time I looked. When you’re shopping around, though, j hope you’ll ask to be shown everything you want to see, ask the thing's you want to know — poke around a little yourself to make sure.
