OK, car is a 2003 Toyota MR Spider.  The "Check Engine" light came on, 
again, for the 2nd O2 sensor.  (This will be the 4th one on the car with 
less than 110K miles on it.)
Each time, its the same O2 sensor (the one at the end of exhaust system)

First, what could cause this car to constantly kill the same O2 sensor but 
not the one 'upstream' from it?

Second, could any additional damage occur from not fixing it right away? 
(We plan to write to Toyota to have them give us an answer since the first 
3 times this car was under warrantee.)

Thanks in advance!
