they tried to break into it by ripping of the seals around my front windshield and busted up my rear tail lights and my mirror. stupid stuff.

Blue smoke means you're burning oil. On many cars it's not too much of a problem if it goes away when the engine warms up. But it's unusual on a Honda regardless and usually indicates worn piston rings or bad valve stem seals.

U said your car was vandalized? Maybe they put something in the gas tank? just a thought.

ok so i changed my oil and it had a ton of oil in there. so after i changed it i drove it around and almost all the smoke was gone but it was still smokin a white blue but not nearly as bad before. could it still be my head gasket? it seemed to only smoke when i got on it?

could be your valve stem seals that are gone or on they way out. if its white smoke then it will be your head gasket. also how long has the car been parked could just need a good run to get all the crap out of it.

just about 2 weeks. i think thats what it was cuz i drove in my hood for 10 min at like 35mph then took it out on our 2 mile straight away got it up to 95 at one point and it doesnt smoke anymore.
