[ba] [20v] Sound fixable?

[Matt twentyV]

I'm with you Dave.  This sounds like a stuck rear diff lock (mine has gotten stuck too, just needed to clean the switch) which is really easy to fix.  Biggest unknown is what else is lurking just behind that nice Tornado Red paint?

With 83K miles this is worth _someone_ taking a look!
