I would avoid it.not likely to be the death of it,would be best to having it run right.How about instead of buying a whole new set, just install your old plugs one side at a time,do the passenger side first.Actually when i cracked one it was on the drivers side due to the tight steering shaft clearence.

when i was putting them back in, i for some reason remember hearing a crack, but i never thought that i cracked the plug untill you mentioned it.
iam gonna change that one out and see what happens. thanks

ok guys, i just checked my spark plugs.....they were all EXTREMELY black with that carbon ****. i put the plugs back in, and called on star to read my engine light code after that.
it was p0171. after a little reading, i found that it has something to do with the engine being lean. ??? i dont get that, i would have thought it was running rich, but iam no expert. what do you guys think??
thanks
