	Whoa, it made sense at the time.  In me head I was saying lead foot,
came out as left foot.  Yes, I am a schmuck. :)

	The animal that owned the car before me is the one responsible for the
non-cat, non-oxygen sensor, etc.  I have in my possession one new oxy
sensor, "free-flow" cat (we'll see how free it flows), and Mr. Clark
should be dropping by with my brand new Scorpion muffler.  All I need
now is a new header.  I've heard that the euro-downpipe is supposed to
be pretty amazing, but I've also heard that it only works without a
cat.  So, looks like it'll be a header for me...if I can afford it.
