Saturn Aura, after her father died and her SUV got flooded out, it was there for free. She seems to think that a Buick is her next. I'm thinking GT350 trumps her.

If a fuel injector is leaking enough for the cylinder to misfire, the O2 sensor will actually read lean because of the unburnt oxygen going into the exhaust.

It's funny that you are more apt to see a new Maserati than a new Smart car. Volkswagon just can't seem to get traction here, their poor reliability doesn't help.
