Do any of the agencies rent trucks with limited slip differentials?

Is this a line from "My Cousin Vinnie"?

Kate.."My Cousin Vinnie" was the posi rear traction in one of the cars. Not to be confused with the Sac O Suds foodstop.

Does it really matter. As long as my truck gets me around, that is all I care.

Trevor: It probably won't matter. However, being 70 and traveling alone, I prefer to better my odds if its not too costly. I'm planning a couple of trips to the park [Wakaya, Boca, etc] as well as the short-cut back to town from Karpata. Just trying to minimize chances of getting stuck.

I've done the park and the Karpata shortcut in an AB Toyota pickup with no problem, though he road in the park made me wish for an F250.

Vince... you are too quick! I knew it wasn't the line from the movie, but like Kelly, it was the first thing I thought of! Sorry William, I know it was a serious question...

Actually, according to the movie, positraction is a limited slip differential (William, if there's a chance you'll get stuck in the park, they usually won't let you in not matter what vehicle you have--for example, if it's been raining a lot. January can be very rainy--but who knows how 2010 will be; this year there's very little rain so far compared to last year):

WOW Ruth..I'm impressed! And you are correct.
