Confused about spark plugs
I'm wanting to change my spark plugs. So I went to advanced auto parts to see what they could provide me. I went to the counter and was told that they would have to be ordered and that the plugs are $37 a piece!! I went home and got online and found on a few websites that they are still $34-$37.
Well I just went to NGKs website and found leading and trailing plugs for $7 each... what's the difference here? Am I missing something?

Not quite sure why you bolded Advanced and spelled it differently but I just went on their website and found them... I'll have to make a quick stop back in there.

Because I figure either you misspelled it or you're at a cheap ripoff store calling itself something close to the name of another well known chain:

Thanks, it's been a long day

I was actually going to post and just ask if NAPA has them. There's a NAPA right around the block from my house.
I actually just stopped by advance after work yesterday and was told that they didn't have any in stock. Ordered two of each and figured I'd just have to wait till next week. Wrong. They came in this morning at 7:30. Awesome! I love it when car shops get parts next day early morning.

Stick to NGK Plugs...you can use the platinums on FC's no problem, but I've heard the regular ones are less prone to screw up with deposits. I'm going to search the forum because I should change mine about this time.

Y'all know you can go directly to the NGK website & order plugs directly from them... I think the platinum's are $7.60 each, & the standard resistors are only $6.50 each.
I'm still curious about anyone taking the Iridium challenge, as per Racing Beats recommendation.

I went to get some plugs from autozone and they insisted the rotary doesn't use spark plugs.

Same thing happened to me (advance auto parts thing too)... except when they looked it up they wanted to sell me $37 plugs.
