Is your car running hot? My best guess would be excess heat causing the ground electrode to warp? Seems like you would have other more serious problems if that was the case though.

combustion temps might be a lot higher than intake temps. Up your plug coldness as stated

he can be lazy if he wants........but ponder this, if your cylinder temps are hot enough to warp the electrode on your spark plug just imagine what that heat is doing to your hyperpathetic pistons.................
