yes on the traction control, but at the time
firestone was an up and coming manufacturer,
and they saw that TC would increase the lifespan
of their tires 3 fold, so they sent out some mafia
group from some place called "socal", who deported the TC efficianado to
Italy
thats just a little of what I heard...
