To RockAuto, these are the same (and sold as new)

For the few of you following the trials and tribulations of my recent former-cop car purchases, the snow has dried up and I finally had a chance to work on them over the last couple days. I guess I should have opened and checked the spark plugs when they first arrived, because I was on the last box before I found this beauty.

Different colored box, Spanish (the other 15 weren’t), and obviously well used. Well, they shipped it to me as new. Now I am down one plug, can’t source it locally quickly, and am not going to mix these with the old NGKs that were in there. So, it’s now on hold because their workers were too lazy to check their items before putting them in inventory- and I made the mistake of trusting the items being shipped as being what I believed I had purchased- before actually putting them to use.

Great.

I have two more boxes of stuff to check when it arrives tomorrow, and the SAAB stuff I haven’t even looked at, yet. I’d expect this from Wal-Mart, but not RockAuto.
