Steam from vents when the A/C is on?
Ive got an 02 RS and when the AC is on I get steam pouring out of the vents once in awhile. It doesnt matter if its dry,humid or raining. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what might be the cause of this? Thanks

Your heater core is cracked and leaking water(coolant) into your a\c vents. This happened on my Plymouth and was pretty hard to replace, I think this might cause you a whole lot of trouble.

It's normal, it's just moisture in the air. It depends on the dew point of the air. Mine does that someitmes too.

PS that is as long as it has no smell. If it smells sweet then it's antifreeze.

I've had a heater core go in my 68' Fairlane ragtop many many moons ago. I got the fog then too 
When I saw fog in my Impreza the first time scared the crap out of me at first. It wasn't' the heater core though just the condensate mist
