Question Here's a weird one for you....need a diagnosis

Yesterday, I was out running a few errands. I pulled into the Target parking lot and at the same time, got a phone call. I decided to sit in my car (while running) while I took the call. A few minutes later, I started noticing smoke coming from the tailpipe. As the time ticked by, the smoke grew in amount. Since I was on the phone, I didn't want to deal with it, so I just turned the car off and walked inside.

The smoke has never come back. But it's kind of freaking me out. Any ideas what caused it?

Thanks,
Eric

I know it sounds funny RED, but knowing the color of the smoke can really help identify the problem
