EDL also removes the locker.  EDL is just ABS-based traction control,
isn't it?

my '92 with its center torsen and manual locking rear hasn't gotten
stuck yet, even in an icy parking lot covered with several inches of
snow and dunlop SP8000s (i.e. not even all-season tires).

i really should get another set of tires to use for my trips up to lake
tahoe, but i have too many sets of tires in my garage.  my two race
cars have at least two sets each, and my garage looks like a tire store.

if i lived where it snowed a lot, i would get some winter tires.
