Really. Just in case anyone doesn't believe it I'll snap a pic of it next to my car.

O2 sensors / catalytic problems do not result in blue smoke. That'd be oil.

I'd check the compression, to start with.

Just hit 140K... :(

Still the original engine & tranny ← But started to notice some rough shiftings occasionally, so it might a time to replace the AT fluid.

Was almost one year ago, so I guess I have 5 more years till I hit 200K.
