Edit: forgot to mention they're very accurate too.
mechanical oil pressure gauges scare me. I imagine the line popping off the gauge and having 90psi of hot oil squirt me in the eyeball causing me to wreck and blow the motor at the same instant.

HAHA, well, 6 years and never so much as a drop has leaked. But even that said, I'm going to switch to electronic gauges in the future. My only issue with the mechanical ones is that I can't take them out if I need to because they're connected to the engine. LOL
