never mind, i found out what the smoking was. if it were burning oil, it would be a thick blackish smoke. this is a thin greyish white smoke. my dad made a good point and both my thoughts and his is that since it was sitting through the winter, the gas tank got condensation and now it is a mix of gas and water. we are going to put some dry gas in it and see iif it clears up the smoke. also, the shaking was resolved when i put more oil in it. it was below the "add" mark. also, i found out that it has almost no engine coolant in it what-so-ever. but we arent quite sure if im going to buy it yet, so we are going to fill it with water for now since 1: we dont spend 20 bucks for something im not going to buy and 2: i am going to have to flush out the radiator anyway. as of right now though, its looking good for me and buying the car.
