I haven't looked at it but I'll tell you a story.  A few years back my
mom was at an antique shop and picked me up a copy of the 1960-something
JC Whipme catalog for a couple of bucks.  Every single "brand new
revolutionary" plug design I'd ever heard of since I was old enough to
know what a spark plug was (around 1980 or so) was in there.  Well, I'd
never seen spark plugs with "Scientifically Irradiated Electrodes!" at
the parts store, but I'd seen most of the rest of them.

Similarly, I was reading a bicycle enthusiast's Web site and he mentioned
a book on bicycle technology from 1905-ish.  His position was that if
you gave him any modern press release for some revolutionary new bicycle
product, it'd only take him a few minutes to find exactly the same
product in the 1905 book.

> They seem to have a plug for the stock 2.1 engine........at $25 EACH :-(

Hmmm... last time I looked the Bosch copper WsomethingAC plus were maybe
$1 or $1.50 each.  If you buy *two* sets of Bosch plugs for $12, you've
still got $88 in your pocket versus buying one set of the nifty plugs.
At $3/gal and 18 mpg, that's another 500+ mile trip in the van.  Or two
cases and change of some very fine beer, or a couple of fifths of 12-year-
old single malt Scotch whisky.  Or a nice set of flat ratcheting metric
wrenches.  Or such a nice dinner for you and the significant other that
you'd have to dress up, or two or three more modest but still quite nice
dinners.  Whatever turns your crank.
