   Admittedly I've been away fromm this stuff for quite some time, but I have yet   
   to see a spark plug that would last 145k.  The ones I bought for the Mark VIII   
   have a recommended replacement of 75k.  I've only put 12k on the car since I   
   bought it, so the ones I put in it 2 years ago should last awhile longer, I   
   think, unless all this city driving I do shortens that life span, which I'm   
   sure it will.
