smoking cars
Overheating engine compartments
Smoking cars are designated train carriages where passengers may smoke tobacco.
Once common, they've largely disappeared as smoking bans spread through public transportation: The last car was the smoking car, perpetually hazy.
The phrase can also describe vehicles emitting visible exhaust from mechanical problems: A line of smoking cars sat abandoned on the highway.
