Sort of like the time a co workers all wheel drive Subaru got stuck in my driveway - the city plow had just gone down the street leaving ridges of snow at the end of each driveway, and the Subaru, being fairly light, got high centered so that no wheel had any traction. Never had that problem with the Pinto wagon I was driving at the time, as it would just push through.

What's weird is that you can talk about programming glitches, but isn't that what would happen if you had an open diff....?

The old trick with an open diff and a stiff rear suspension was to touch the brakes or pull the hand brake on

a bit and create an LSD effect......That's Limited Slip Differential effect, not acid..:Rolleyes.

 

Not surprised that the reviewer didn't know this trick, most people under 50 don't..

Note to self: Remember all of this, just in case
