Certainly at least needs more stick.






At first, I thought, "Cool, 4-wheels spinning. Spinning is winning."




But later I realized, "Nah. That was probably just one wheel going ape****."

I don't get stuck in ditches. I jump them.

Larry is the one who gets stuck.


I thought about clutch slip. But it was fully engaged. No reason to think it was slipping.

Car accelerates?

But 4th at 70 is kinda high/slow. I'd drop to 3rd for that.

I had TC off. I usually turn it off when it's wet. Otherwise it just goes nuts all the time and it's super annoying.

If I leave it on, it activates constantly and ****s with all the ****. It is seriously annoying.

So, I turn it off.


One wheel peel was the phrase I was looking for. One wheel peels make me sad.

Yeah open diffs FTL
Proper limited slip diffs are basically being phased out by most car makers for this junk

How is it Monday already? Did I fall into a food-induced coma only to awaken 3 days later with no recollection of time that has passed?
