I may be a purist in some respects, so please
forgive me, but
"Posi-Traction", or "Posi-Trac", one of the two, is a
registered Trademark
of GM, used on Pontiac Motor Car Division cars
starting in '63, I believe.
The MoPar name, also a Registered Trademark, is
"Sure-Grip" for the
differential. Posi is like Kleenex, or
Xerox. Generally accepted as the
dominant generic term used by the
population. Xerox, though, fought back,
hard, and got back control
over their brand name in the '80's so they did
not become another
"Kleenex".
Best to all in '05!

In
answer to someone's question. No, I am not a Queen. I'm just
a
princess, my mother hasn't died yet. Thanks for asking though.

Well, Bill, I (for one) NEVER thought that of you. I
thought it was Doris who was the reigning Queen in your
neighborhood! (and may your dear mom live a long time
yet!)
And Lucille didn't make a quarter-turn on either wheel as she
climbed that slippery slope of muddy grass (OOPS!) so I am thinking D2 is
correct in his assumption!
Today we made the dreaded commute from
Sultan to Bellevue in true Imperial fashion - a breathtakingly cold clear
morning and quite a lovely drive in! I LOVE the way Lucille's heater puts all
that nice hot air right on my knees where I like it! Now, if I could just find
that darn hissing vacuum line in the Autotemp so the air (or at least part of
it) would also go on the windshield...... I am too old to lay in those
contorted positions with my head jammed under the dash.
