This has got me thinking about changing the plugs in my GTI. I might have to
see if we have SUPERs at the ORielly's I work at this weekend and maybe get
some for it. I know thats what we bought for Tarra's rocco @ cincy. (Now
just to get it home so we can get it running and on the road for her.)
Anyone near Iowa w/ a truck want to help us out with that??
Peace Out,
Rhett
