Re: ~~~ Say hello to my little friend!!! ~~~
I use the brake pedal trick from time to time, myself. I have, on occasion,
wished I could just stop the one wheel without applying brakes to the wheel
with traction, though. I would think it would be handy. I guess I'll keep
on using the "brake pedal" thing... :-)

Re: ~~~ Say hello to my little friend!!! ~~~
I have thought of the VW setup, it has been around for a long time, but
man it is enough hassle keeping one set of cables working up her in the
salt belt and with the water I run.
Also I use it most in the winter on snow and ice runs and we cross
water. You cannot use the e-brake. A, it's already froze up or B, it's
about to and you 'sure' don't want to use it right at that frost point
when it is about to go zap solid for any length of time or use it when
you stop...
