That's some magical lubricant!

You know, I was going to buy a Nissan GT-R. I figure I've got $75,000 burning a hole in my pocket, why not? Good thing I did the research, though. Turns out the 18K service costs $2,000, and that's if you shop around for your own supplies.

The primary culprit? Ten quarts of tranny fluid. Retailing at $115 per quart, but the guys at Edmunds found it for $85.

I really want to know what's in $115 tranny fluid. It had better involve the blood of aborted fetuses, the tears of the baby jeebus (maybe with a dash of Glenn Beck), and baby seal blubber.
