Day 152 - Burned Beyond Belief

I couldn't believe how far gone these spark plugs were when I took them out of my little ol' Plymouth Neon.  They were literally missing about 1/32'' of the center electrode (if that means anything to you).  That's a lot of erosion!  I guess what it translated into is: I was lucky the car ran at all.

I set the plugs out on a paper towel in natural light--Not sunny, but fairly bright.  I used our Canon 100mm macro lens for this one.

Sorry I have been MIA. And this is funny -- no, INTERESTING, that two cars you recently fixed had parts which had been worn way past their prime! Hmmmm, very suspicious!

 
What are you looking down here for? Get outside and take some pictures!
