Dom Perignon

Oldopelguy FTW. If this one doesn't end up in the magazine, I don't know what will...

It's made from the tears of bald eagles and ground up Faberge eggs.

See, that expensive fluid is why the transmissions last so long!

Oh, wait...

I think there's some grated white truffle in there, too.

No, no, no....

It's made from the blood of Chuck Norris. He was paid $1,000,000 for one pint and it's so hard core, it replicates by itself when it notices supplies are down.

There WERE two cells of blood per bottle, but, as we all know, that was too much for the transmission. They're hoping one cell won't be too hard on it.

Oh, and Chuck Norris will roundhouse kick all of you for not knowing that!!

This will never make it into the magazine because Chuck will then demand royalties from GRM for capitalizing on his "internet fame". And then that would force a Chuck vs. Margie showdown, and really how many patios can one person have in their backyard?

They aren't patios, it is merely another step closer to the GRM autocross club house!

HAHA!!! When I worked in Parts at Lotus of Atlanta, we had trans fluid for $25 a quart and they tore a new one on me on the Lotus Forum!! Esprit owners... I tell ya...

But it's JDM ATF!

I believe you're all wrong. It's just regular ATF in a ZOMGGTR!!!!!11!!!!!!!!1111one container.

You guys didn't notice the berkeleying awesome GTR logo on the bottle?

Also, what kind of mobil 1 oil is $9/quart? Does it say GTR on that bottle too?

Yes, but that's MAGIC Lotus oil and worth $25 a quart if you're trying to push 350 HP through a French gearbox designed for 220.

Uh... Are you still employed at Mecca? Can you get me a discount?
