Background: drive to work 110 miles a day. Have a Honda CRX for the trip

I'd rather change the spark plugs on the CRX every day than the plugs on my 7.

Just changed them for the first time and they sucked to get to (even from underneath)!!!!

The Fd is hard I just changed the ones to my friends F150. That was alot harder then the FD





Theirs only 4! The only reason I didn't like changing them on my car was cause I was in a hurry to change them and did it while the engine was hot

Try changing all 24 plugs on a Mercedes V12 one time. Way worse then the 4 we have to do

Changed the plugs on my V6 Camaro once in 200,000 kms. Changed plugs on my FD 6 times in 1 evening.





FD = Easy
