Angry Car wouldn't Start, finally did with White Smoke???

Okay, here's a question for all of you tech guys, my car would not start the other morning, it was turning over just fine so I knew it was not the electrical system or the starter. After a few attempts, I went ahead and gave the car some gas and let it crank, after about 10 to 15 seconds the car finally started and a crap load of white smoke came our from the exhaust pipes, it pretty much blinded me for a minute, so any thoughts on this particular issue. This is the second time my car would not start. It's a 2004 G35 Coupe.

Thanks in advance...

water = steam???

oil = black smoke
excess fuel = dripping out of your exhaust
coolant = blue / white
