Why the hell do spark plugs have a screw-on tip? Who the hell is using a spade connector on any car made since 1960?

Just asking. These damn things work themselves loose too often. 

Why must everything be a hassle when trying to buy parts? Example, spark plugs

both selections are for a 1963 Plymouth 426 wedge. (7.0 liter) so, why is the Fury assigned the GR5 and the Belvedere assigned a XR5?

So I called the help line, Paul answered (awesome guy!) and he took a sec, looked over the issue, and said he's going to get the website guys to straighten this out.

Why does it matter? The GR5 and the XR5 are 10mm different lengths, and the longer one could just smack into the pistons.

What was the first cross Canada motor car trip? Was it the 1917 Champion Spark Plugs of Canada marketing drive? or the 1912 Halifax to Victoria REO drive

Charles A. Speers Cal. A Evans made the first trip across Canada by motor car, and beyond the expected early years cross country problems of roads, weather, lack or repair parts and fuel, had to overcome crossing the Canadian Rockies

In August of 1912, author Thomas W. Wilby and driver Jack Haney left Halifax in a Reo automobile on a historic coast-to-coast journey.

An automobile backed its wheels into the waters off Halifax. The two men aboard scooped up a flaskful of Atlantic water. And with the yell "All on board for Vancouver!" they were away.

It was Aug. 27, 1912, and Thomas Wilby and Jack Haney were setting out to become the first motorists to cross Canada – quite a feat, considering that there were only 16 kilometres of paved road in the entire country.

If you know why Chick gets his own post, then you're on the right website. Seriously, who else celebrates a legendary Indy mechanic and spark plug company rep

Chick Hirashima was the last of the riding mechanics. I've posted about him before I'm pretty sure, but 7 or 8 years ago.

Enzo was either endorsing Champion, or had worked out a deal for racing... whichever it was, I doubt he helped many other companies with their advertising.
