Default car smoking

i have a 94 gsr that has 130,000 miles on it. i drive the car between 2-4 times a month. and one day i had a friend driving behind me and he told me that the car blew out some white smoke when i was in high rpms. i did a compression test and came out with 210 210 200 210 and the plugs are clean, and oil does not smell burnt. i bought the car from an older man which owned it for 11 years. and has a stack of reciptes on the car so i know it was well taken car of and was never beaten on. what i am wondering is if i am burning out or is it condensation from sitting so long in my garage.

Not neccessarily. It's moisture of some sort, most often coolant, but yeah.

i followed my friend driving my gsr, and at high rpm shifts i saw a tiny puff of black smoke come out of the pipe. the car ran great, didn't burn much oil, gave me no problems. i assumed it was because the previous owner didn't drive it very hard, and winding it up was just puffing out the carbon build-up. i think the puffs were mostly when it went into vtec and the secondaries opened up.
