Did your car come in contact with fluids from another infected car?

Mine started doing that yesterday for the first time. I'd start it up and it would sound like an STi for the first second until warmed up and restarts were fine thereafter.
I figured that I fouled a plug. Pulled them, Cyl 4 was different from the rest, swapped out all 4, and gapped down from 30 now running perfect again. I bet you that it is a fouled spark plug. NGK7173's gapped to 25

Oh, I forgot to tell you that from experience, turbo cars eat spark plugs often, all it takes is one misfire or a stuck Blow-off on one pass to foul plugs. Change often
