And, before I let this go.......!!!

Don said he laid down two tire stripes, which I have also done on many an
occasion.....no extra diff work requires when you do that.

So, the answer is.....don't do a half-ass burnout, go for the gold and spin
both tires!!  ;-)

Balloon tires I tell ya!  I didn't know Nitto made tires that big. :-)

Your transmission just called me and said you'll be ordering a Quaife soon.
