Absolutely freaking ridiculous that I can't buy ate super blue brake fluid. Because it's blue? Well, whoda thunk??? Figure out something more important to legislate into oblivion, like idiot drivers that make me use my super blue brake fluid that I now have to have someone buy in the eu and repackage it to send it to me here in the us - the land of the free (yeah right) and the home of the brave (unless it comes to the color of brake fluid!!!) find something more worthwhile to do, please!!!
