Maybe you drove thur some flour that spilled on the road. If you dont listen to us, have at it, and get your wallet open for the inevitable!!

it sounds like a head gasket.

That happened to my 3000GT long time ago.
Pretty much exact symtom.

Was driving the car at 60mph and white smoke behind me to the point where I couldnt see anything in the back.
Luckily there were no cars behind me.

Head gasket. In addition, I would recommend getting your cylinder head checked for cracks as well as pressure tested.

Thick white smoke like that is typically the headgasket, as everyone else has mentioned. Continuing to drive it, despite several warnings, because it's 'just too hard' is...wow. I don't know what to say.

At this point, you have a good chance of finding your head warped, among other issues. Enjoy spending your life savings.
