I'll leave the wheel bolts alone, it's in the archives.  WRT spark plugs =
NO.  You not only risk stretching aluminum head thread, you also effectively
change the heat range of the spark plug.  If you feel some sort of risk
pulling a plug, just run the motor until it's hot.  Make sure you install in
a cool motor tho.

Not good advice, there is no documentation supporting this recommendation.
Especially on S cars, F5 popcorn we don't need more of.  Skip the silver
butter...

It's a good idea in any vehicle to use the anti-seize compound on the
spark plugs and the wheel bolts, because both can become stuck over
time due to heat and dissimilar metals. Just go easy and watch those
torque specifications everyone is talking about :)
