You need to check if burn out wheels were equipped to the front of the car, if so while the car try's to move forward (or backward) the front wheels will lose grip withe the pavement and depending how long the car remains still there will be a white like cloud that begins to be released from between the tire and pavement. Depending how long the car remains motionless this cloud can in-gulf the entire wheel well, if the car still remains stopped while this is happening the cloud can proceed under the hood at this point it can be very confusing to the driver becouse not long after this point the entire front end of the car will disappear behind a plume of white smoke that's so thick the driver wouldn't be able to see past the windshield. When the driver takes their foot off the gas and the car returns to idel or is turned off smoke will still be trapped under the hood for a short while and when the hood is opend it will escape further more confusing the driver of where the location of the problem is.
But this is all good news becouse if the gear box still operates after this episode then its more likely no harm has come to it. This sort of thing happens to me quite a bit when I forget to release the parking brake. Next time Check to see its not in the up position while this is happening.
