It didn't accumulate much more than in the pic, maybe an inch or so. Slippery as heck though so I didn't send any of my trucks out.

Posi traction, limited slip, safety track, - all names used by manufacturers over the years. MB doesn't have it on their rear wheel drive cars - not the ones I've owned, anyway.

Sure... LSD would have helped a bunch.... He would have been wandering around naked, looking at the snow instead of driving...
