I accidentally threw a shirt I had worked in into my laundry. Ruined a couple hundred bucks worth of Victoria's Secret. It was a sad day

YKYDAXJW you keep hallucinating the smell of gear oil even though you haven't been near the stuff in a week. (True story. Couldn't eat breakfast a couple days ago)
When I was kid I smelled the stuff but never knew what it was but always dreaded helping the pops work on his truck expecting to smell it again.
Now that I know what it was...I still dread opening up the diff, bleh! Dread that smell

The stuff that came out of my D30 was kinda like that but not quite that bad. Though there were globs of sludge in the carrier...
Its bad when changing gear oil makes the entire jeep feel more responsive (including the steering!)

Haha.. It started to come out, and it looked kind-of o.k.. I thought, "Hey, this shouldn't be too bad.. Then came the chunks.. (some of which were as big as my hand) to top it off, it was this.. weird greenish-bluish color that noone- not even the teacher -had ever seen before.. it was.. nasty. lol..

One time my brother brought home a blown up toyota diff (the removable third member) and we used it to drive out his obnoxious douchebag roommates. It was so bad, just cracking one of the bearing cap bolts loose filled the entire house with the worst gear oil stench ever.
It right in my face was the only non-human related smell that ever made me dry heave. Even the cats ran to the open windows and tried to push the screens out. It was horrible but at the same time so hilarious
