First drive since pre december

So I got the car filled up with gas today & a new battery, started up quick just like everyother time it has a full charge since I changed the plugs amonth ago or so.

So I take it around the block to pull it in backwards, I let it heat up alittle bit (stayed on for 5 mins before driving) I also had it on about 2hours before that to backit up and add speaker wire's and such

as I'm driving I give it about half throttle pulls me back (just put in new batt so automatic acts funny first 10 mins of driving) I take it around a corner then another quick corner and wot, I hear a tire cherp when it downshifts I believe (it kind of freaked out) got it to about 5K rpm. As I'm backing it into the driveway theirs a steep incline for about 2 feet I had to give it gas for that and wanted to mae sure I wasn't going to hit anything so I look through the window and see smoke, when I push the gas theres alittle bit more like if someones smoking a huge cigarette ammount. Once I put the car in park after a min the smoke stopped comming out at all, when I started it again no smoke.

So what do you think of this blue smoke? I know the oil has gas in it & the coolent seals I believe have a problem as coolent slowly gets lower but the oil seals I'm unsure how they are. My dad held the car at around 7k rpm in N ( I don't remember why) for about 30 seconds and then blue smoke came out, it seems to do it everytime its around 5k rpm and higher isn't that when the oil injecters become active or something? Anyways thanks for any input.

That smoke is normal when the car has sat for a while, even if the car is taking on miles (it burns excess oil that didn't when the car was last shut off)
