i was driving around 55-60 mph down an interstate then i got into a turn lane. my car started to stutter, then turned off. i tried to turn it back on and it tried to turn on but didnt actually turn on. i looked in my mirrors and there was a large amount of white smoke coming from my exhaust. i am very confused on what is happening. i had put gas in my car 15 minutes earlier of driving. the next day i tried to start my car again and it only would make a big CLUNK noise when i turned the key, it didnt try to turn on. tonight i tried again and it made a CLUNK noise, then i tried again and it tried to turn on but went straight back to the CLUNK noise. i don't know a lot about cars, but i mean i'm not stupid. i'm guessing it overheated, but i also think it might have a blown head gasket. i've had plenty of other theories but i think those two match up with the symptoms more than anything else? unless two or more things went wrong at the same time? i don't know, PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK! i'm driving a mini van and i'd so much rather be drivin my firebird. pleassseee respond.
