Default Plug WTF?
My son has a nightsrter that about 10k dropped an electrode into the cylinder. Nasty stuff. The shop wanted to know what we did to cause it? LMAO.Has anybody else had a plug elctrode break off? This was less than 500 miles after the 10000 warranty check. We paid labor they paid parts. Dont seem right to me.

I heard Champions are ok if ya just back it out the garage every now & then. Or if ya live on a wee island with just one road that naturally limits ya miles to around 10 for 9 months in the year!

NGKs have run brilliantly. Start great. Run clean and crisp. But no noticable performance increase. Just a better plug for those of us living on the mainland.
