Welded rear ends are fun. I had one in the Cortina that I raced, but
they have various disadvantages. Tight turns don't work well, pusing
the car by hand is a real pain, and welded diffs don't seem to last
very long.
They are fun to drive with though, it's real easy to get the rear end
to come around, and conversely, coming out of a turn, just get on the
gas and as long as you don't spin your tires, the car will just sit
down and go straight in the direction you are pointing.

I've found something worse than oldies station that play the music I used to
listen to. Oldies stations that play the "new" music I used to complain about.
