What I said is not opinion. It is a fact that they are hard on parts and can make the car hard to control in certain situations. Fact. Now if the man wants to study up on them and use one, that's his choice, but for you to just throw it out without pointing out the pitfalls is irresponsible. That is why I chimed in. I got lots of family around Catonsville, I'll be sure to let them know if they get hit by an out of control Maverick to have their attorney check to see if the car had a spool. That would surely squeeze a few more bux from your insurance company, being such a liability. Could even be criminal negligence if someone was hurt.
i didnt throw it out there, i suggested he do a search for all the facts instead of wasting lots of space here. detroit lockers are also very hard on axles. dont like them either? if you drive stupid the mini will bite you. if you drive reasonably, no problems. fact: hit the gas in a turn on slick road with mini, lose traction and maybe spin. fact: hit the gas in a turn on slick road with posi, lose traction and maybe spin. drive smart, no problem. no one is saying you dont have to be a little careful with a spool fact: 3 yrs on a mini, in rain, in snow, no accidents, broken parts, hit drivers in catonsville blugene, do the search, read & make your own decision. dont just take any one's single opinion.
Thanks igo, Ratio... I hear you. I will be doing alot of research since I do have some time before I actually get to the stage.
