    70k miles!?? wow... doesn't look so bad.


    you should change them anyhow, 70k is way too much for same plugs.


    and PLEASE start saving pictures in JPEG format, not BMP....

    Those look nice and toasty but in fair condition for the mileage. Change them out anyhow and you'll gain some efficiency.

    What plugs are those anyhow?

    btw, that BMP image is 7MB in size. I feel sorry for those dial-up and DSL guys.
