Right. The problem is that they often rust into a solid block, making
them very difficult to remove from the pipe.

Best case you can have the thing up in the air, the sensor changed, and the
thing back down in the parking lot in half an hour. Worst case, it could
take hours with a torch and an impact wrench to get the damn thing out.

Note also that a lot of O2 sensors get changed needlessly... people see
an error saying the sensor is out of range and decide to replace it,
just to find that the new sensor is out of range too because the problem
wasn't the sensor at all.

I'm going to bump the tread up. Two guys immigrate to America. On their
first day off the boat, they are wandering around New York City seeing
the sights. As lunch time approaches, they decide they are hungry. They
then come up to a street vendor selling hot dogs.One says to the other
in a shocked tone, "My God. Do they eat dogs in America?""I don't
know!" says the other, equally appalled."Well," says the first, "we're
going to be Americans, so we must do as they do."They approach the
vendor bravely, "Two hot dogs, please."The vendor hands them their food
in a pair of paper sacks. The two immigrants sit on a park bench to eat
their lunch.One looks inside his sack, hesitates and turns to his
partner and says, "Uh, which part of the dog did you get?" 'FFXI
