This is just what I have experienced driving and riding in cars and trucks with and without a Posi.
I guess to each their own.
Have fun, happy rodding and be safe.

Well, we're certainly experiencing it within a short distance of each other. I think you can say that it's not your experience but I don't think you can say that it is not correct. The stakes are higher if you have a posi car get away from you than if you sit and spin one tire in place. However, with our weather and especially in the rain after it's been dry, I would not want to drive a non posi rig. I drive pickups all day for work and posi is necessary to avoid excessive wheelspin with moderate horsepower (and moderate throttle). Wheelspin going uphill from a traffic light or stop sign is not a good look for a company rig. And not what I want in a personal rig either. And with an empty bed you have nothing usable on tap if you need to accelerate quickly for any reason. I don't think a high horsepower rig has any business being out in the rain unless it's all wheel drive, so in that case a one-legger could be better because you can't go anywhere.
