When I start my car engine shakes violently and smokes. What could be wrong?

Where does it smoke from? Check coolant and oil levels, check for mixing of either coolant or gasoline in the oil, and the radiator, report back. What color is the smoke?

Check the underside oil pan, tranny pan, and steering parts. May have even scraped open a tranny cooler line.
