i was driving my car for about 5 minutes only driving about 50km/h everything was working fine and out of nowhere my car started smoking greyish black smoke inside of my car. i pulled over right away and turned the car off and it smoked for about another 5 mins. after that i opened the hood check my coolant and checked my oil and everything was fine. i couldn't understand it. so i got back into my car started it no smoking or anything occured so i drove it again for about 2 mins and i started to hear sparking coming from around my steering wheel and then again it started smoking really bad. i have no familly around me and i was just wondering if you had an idea to what it could be. Ps after the second time it started smoking i got it towed to my house and now i am carless. Its got 250,000 km on it and i maintain it every year and keep up on everything that needs to be fixed.....please help
