black smoke.
Was at a friends house earlier and while we were looking at my car he said "hey man rev it up". So I said ahh what the hell why not. So I fire it up and i let it warm up a little and I let her rip. I took it up to 5,000 RPMS and quite abit of black smoke came out of the exhaust. I said WTF? Can someone tell me what is going on here? The car has 3,410 miles on it. thanks. BTW- I have changed the oil 3 times since i bought the car.

Black smoke is fuel. She's running a little fat. Probably because you were spinning it up without a load on the engine. I wouldn't worry too much about it, there are worse types of smoke.
Bluish smoke (blue/white or blue/gray)= OIL
Black= FUEL
White (that quickly dissapates)= STEAM/WATER
