Why do I have so much steam coming from exhaust? Seems like every time I start it I get lots of water and steam from exhaust. Is this just a function of cold damp weather?

Yes, and this is a good reason why you should not drive your car for short little trips. You want your exhaust good and hot when you shut it off to reduce the amount of water in it while sitting.
All cars do this, sometimes I'll see the water pour out of a muffler on a recently started car as they take off from a stop light. |

I follow what you are saying and understand how water would accumulate in the exhaust. However, the comment was made that implied that being an air-cooled engine would cause more steam and I am still unsure about how that could be the case. |
