Default White spark plugs

Hello ya'll. I just recently pulled out one of my plugs to take a look at it and i was pretty surpised at what i saw.

The ground electrode and center electrode look very white, it may not show up on the pictures very well, much whiter than any i have seen before.
My car is a 2001 with 34000 miles on it. It is totally stock. I do drive very hard and have done about 4 autox and 2 trackdays this summer.

Mine looked about the same at 30,000 miles. Yours seems to have a bit more deposits on it then mine. Could be the additives in gas.

IMO I don't think you need to worry, clean the threads with a wire brush and crank the motor over without any plugs in to make sure nothing went down and reinstall.

It might mean your running lean... But hopefully people with more miles could give us some feedback
