I drive a '99 Saturn SL...I think I killed it. I put a quart of oil in it while it was running, cuz I thought it was empty (because I checked it while it was running). While I was doing so, the engine started to jerk a bit and then it died.
It still starts ok and drives, but it smokes VERY bad from the exhaust pipe and at first it wouldn't go any faster than 20 mph. My dad drove it and said it drove fine, but it would still start to smoke after driving it for about a minute.
Don't tell me about how stupid of a mistake that was, because I already know. I know now that its only the transmission fluid you check while its running. It was my first car and I was destined to kill it. Anyway, if you can help in any way (suggesting a good way to find a new car if I have to) then do so please :D
