I'm sick of 2WD vehicles -- I want a locking differential! and the torque converter's got to go as well. P.S. thanks to vijay ([livejournal.com profile] al_kohal) , qin, and the new neighbors for helping dig the GTI out of the snow.

It's all about the Subaru, man.

Ah, driving in the snow is a challenge. Get in some practice in a parking lot, make sure you've got good treads on the drive tires, and you should be alrite. 'round here, we don't give driving a second thought unless the snow's above the bumper. And when it is, we just drive faster to push through it.

You need 4WD first, then a locker. And torque converters are pretty cool things, as they give you torque multiplication, unlike a manual transmission. But auto trannies suck in general, as we all know. Can you even get a locker for a VW? As far as I know they're available only for trucks and SUVs with real, non-front wheel drive axles.
