[net.auto] locking brakes

gary (01/14/83)

I'm very surprised about the spinning Rabbit story: in 1976, I tried to
get my roommate's 75 Rabbit to spin in a snowy parking lot and couldn't!
How did you do it??

We just had a big storm here in Massachusetts and
now I know what you're talking about with the 
rear of the car sliding around when the brakes lock.

Question:  Shouldn't I be able to reduce the severity
           of the problem by putting snow tires on the
           rear wheels ?
