If you ask me it tastes like they use unfiltered urine.
i'm quite the beer snob as well and my lips won't touch a Heineken or Beck's, or any other beer bottled in a green container for that matter.

Anyone have any recommendations for grease to use for suspension parts? I have used this spray on lithium grease, but it doesn't seem to last. I'm looking for something to lube the tender springs on coilovers, swaybar mounts, and endlinks (rod end style). Anyone have anything they recommend?

valvoline syn power chassis grease has held up extremely well in my repacked struts and sway bar mount bushings. i just pulled my struts apart a few months ago and the reservoirs were still full of clean grease.

i have recently noticed a rubber sounding squeak when starting the car, coming to a stop, and going over rough bumps. It sounds like it's coming from the shifter area, but I can't pinpoint it. Any ideas?

I'm interested. December can be tough though, with holiday parties and all that stuff going on.
