Have you been able to feel a discernable difference between the handling of the two modes? And what tires do you have?

Man Ralph, I'm glad you're okay. It seems like a lot of wrecks are happening lately...

Oh by the way, I think Ralph told me on Saturday that he's rollin' on Advan A048s.

I'm on Advan Neova AD07s (265/35/18), and they are very good in the wet. The ACD changes the time it takes to open the center diff following turn it, tarmac is shortest and snow is longest; the longer the diff stays locked the easier it is to put the car sideways and drift it - it's pretty noticeable at speed.

New rear bumper would have been nice, but the thought didn't occur until afterwards .

Good to hear (read) that you are okay and made it through. The actual amount of people that drink and drive it's almost insane. Revoking his license won't really do anything, as much as we would like it to. Most of the people that do it don't really give a crap. Don't know how bad it is up here in PA but in Hawaii it is bad.

hanahawaiian glad to hear your sister is ok.

Aloha,
Ian
