Been there done that.  Quick story.  Changed the sparkplugs on my dads drive 
to work car, was an Izuzu I-mark. Engine was hot.  One plug stripped out the 
head.  So I had to cross thread the sparkplug all the way down into the head. 
Prayed that the engine would start and run.  It did.  Needless to say I never 
changed the plugs in that car again.  Car is long gone now.  Never realized 
until just now that it was cause the engine was warm L8r.
