Default smoke! all colors.

alright to start this it has been my worst day everr.
sooo my car has been misfiring for a while now but it was never that bad and today it became horrible. before i would be if i floor it at low rpms it would cut out.
now its doing that at low and high.
i was driving to work on the freeway and a prelude and integra come and cutme off trying to mess around. (knowing its not a big deal) i downshift to 4th and get on it a lil bit. it chokes a little and i can hear it back firing horribly.
it wouldnt even let me go past 110.
then when i get off the freeway i look in my rear view and there is smoke covering the whole street. it looked worse than seafoam. it was white and blue smoke. then i got a lil scared and drove it at low rpms accelerating slowly.
while i began to drive on the street again it didnt smoke much.
i pulled into a lot and checked it out, i played with the throttle and it felt as if the rev limitor would kick in at about 5000 rpms and go until 6. i didnt wanna push it any farther than that.
from 1 to 5 thousand rpms it would be white and blue more white though. then when it started to backfire at 5 it would mix with black and grey.
i have no clue whats going on.
PLEASE HELP
my parents want to leave it in the garage for a while and leave me carless.
thanks

it's probably in limp mode to protect the engine, You need to get it to a shop and have a diagnostic run ASAP, and then we can go from there

so do you have a CEL, also im think blwan head gasket leaking oil and coolant intot eh combustion chamber, hence the white and blue smoke, the black and grey usually means your running rich and too much fuels being thrown in, god how hard do you drive your car.
