Why does white smoke come out of the exhaust system when you first start the car up?

White smoke from the exhaust is a symptom of coolant entering the combustion chamber. You have a blown head gasket, cracked head, or both. STOP driving this car immediately. You will destroy the engine if you continue to drive it in this condition.

What is causing white smoke to come out of the exhaust for a few seconds when you first start your car?
White Smoke from ExhaustA little whitish vapor in the first few seconds after start-up is nothing to worry about; it's condensation being blown out of the exhaust system and will quickly disperse. Smoke that persists, however, is cause for concern. * Black smoke comes from partially burned fuel. This indicates that the air filter or fuel system needs to be serviced.* Blue smoke indicates burning oil is a bad sign. Clouds of blue smoke on start-up may indicate worn valve-guide seals, valves, or piston rings, the latter of which can mean a cylinder-head or engine rebuild is needed.* Billowy white smoke may indicate that coolant is getting into the engine. Another bad sign. This can be a result of a blown head gasket, damaged cylinder head, or even a cracked block. All are expensive repairs.
Yesterday you just had your oil changed in your 2007 mustang GT This morning a puff of white smoke came out the exhaust as you started it No smoke afterwards Why did it do that?
White smoke in the exhaust means water is being burned in the engine. A small puff of white smoke the first time you start a car in the morning is normal. Water condenses in the intake, and engine and when you firsts start the engine it burns off producing a puff of white smoke. It is nothing to concern yourself with unless the car is constantly blowing white smoke.
