Green Replacement Straws for Gear Heads - Its a great idea!

Here is a great idea for gear heads, for all pros and especially us amateurs! It is pretty simple but we have all been there! I lose them all the time. I am talking about the focus straws that come on aerosol lubricants and paint cans.  The red straws that come with the products are taped to the side and often fall off and get lost; especially the ones I keep in my tool box.

Trying to use the cans without the straws is messy and when I am getting ready to show a car.  I need the focus straw in order to not have to clean up over spray!  This last weekend we were at the Great American Motorcycle Show at the North Atlanta Trade Center David Jessien and I met from AutoStraw.com.  He has patented a glowing green straw and sells them in blister packs of ten at outlets all over the world. Keep you eye out for them!

I bought some and handed them out at one of my club meetings and everyone was scrambling to get one. All most everyone said they have at least one can in their shop with no straw!  One thing that is very cool is the bright color so when it is dropped, it stands out better than the red ones, even in dark spots! I have known folks to go out and buy a new aerosol just so they can a new straw!

Contact me, Mike Thies at 770-883-0160 or send me a message here on www.SouthEastWheelsEvents.com to get hooked up. You can email David at AutoStraw directly DJessien@yahoo.com.  This is a great idea!

By Mike Thies

The Marcos was one of those wonderfully unconventional British sports car companies that could only have come from the postwar racing world. The company was founded in 1959 by Jem Marsh and aerodynamicist Frank Costin, with the name Marcos coming from Marsh and Costin. Costin brought serious aircraft and racing design experience to the project, and that influence showed up immediately in the cars: low frontal area, light weight,…

A Judge’s View from Pinehurst: Sandhills Motoring Expo 2026 by Mike Thies

The 2026 Sandhills Motoring Expo Concours in the Village was one of those days that reminds you why we do this. Held Sunday, May 24, in the historic Village of Pinehurst, the event brought together more than 130 judged automobiles representing over 40 manufacturers, and from this judge’s point of view, it was a first-class field, a well-run operation, and a genuinely enjoyable day with owners who were proud to…
