I just posted 'cuz I thought it was interesting. I do lube the roadster with
one of those cheapie Sta-Lube insert-a-grease-cartridge grease guns. Never
thought about an air-powered grease gun. Hmmmmmm......
Me offended? Never! Well, hardly ever! <g>

Maybe it is just me, and I should stay in lurk mode, but explain to me why,
if y'all know all the lube points, and crawl under the car with these
bafoons, do you not just lube your own car? An air powered grease gun to
hook up to your cheap compressor is not a huge investment, plus you get to
change your oil & lube your car at your convienience and at not an
unsubstantial savings, I might add. Biggest advantage, is you don't have
some moron cross thread your plug, or just fail to do something that you
paid for.
Granted, I have to take my modern car & truck to a garage (a real mechanic
who I know) for some repairs, because I do not have computer equipment and
the "special tools" the manufactures seem to invent every year, but at least
I can still work on my Roadsters, and I would not let anyone else touch
them!
Just one guys opinion, no flaming intended
