worth a little chuckle

Just thought i'd post this 'cause it cracked me up. had service bulletin done on rear differential and the gm gear oil proudly advertises a "new grape scent" on the bottle. as if that isn't goofy enough, the warning label on the bottle says it's vapor harmful. so by putting the grape scent "ad" on the bottle, you get 100% more people to actually take a sec. to take a sniff...????? is it just me or is the whole planet losing it??

Hehe, well I guess GM is being nice, and figure when you blow a hole in your 10 bolt POS, at least you'll be treated to a nice grape aroma.

If you've ever smelled normal rear end grease or had it on you, you will appreciate the grape smell. The normal smell will make you want to retch!

Re: worth a little chuckle

GM would like to ask when was the last time you desided to "stop and smell the gear oil".

They know that we were upset that they killed the F-body and they are trying to eliminate us....one technical service bulletin at a time......
