Guys I need new spark plugs. The local tire shop wanted $18 a piece for NGK platiums. That's a little high isnt it? Where is the cheapest place on the web to buy plugs for our cars??? Thanks

They really should run more that $10 per plug. Even $10 is kinda high if you can't find a good deal.

They don't have a good reputation for smooth, reliable operation for 60k like the NGK plugs do. A simple forum search would illustrate our experiences in better detail. There have been more complaints than compliments for anything but NGK Platinums on VQ engines.
