traction control system does more for you than the Elocker does.

Don't believe me? Range Rovers come with open differentials front and rear, and a open transfer case. They use an aggressive traction control system, modulating the brakes. They can force all engine power to any wheel, any combination of the wheels. Pretty neat system.

And they also break every other day, as you know lol. They are really neat though, that's for sure.

I'm loving this weather! I could do without the rain, but other than that

Maggie goes out for a few minutes, then she is ready to get back inside. Her short hair is not much protection.

Still 34 here. Ice in the trees but everything else here is clear. Not so a few miles east or north.

Huge winter storm that was predicted as 1-2" of ice and sleet came down as a lot of rain because we never dipped back below freezing

I didn't even see any ice period this morning when I left for work. It never ends up playing out like the forecasts thinks it will.

And the media blows it so out of proportion. Snowmageddonicepacolypse 2013! Again!

Got some new goodies for the Stallion today. Nothing like picking up 6 wheels from your apartment office and putting all of them in your car to take to the garage. Haha



The set of wheels are 18x9 10th anniversary Cobra wheels I got from Latemodel Restoration. $200 for the set on their pre-black Friday cyber deals. They will be my AutoX wheels for next season. Sent from my iPhone using IB AutoGroup
