Thanks for the correction, Boss. It's been 30 years since I've been into one. I still recall that one side is considered the "drive wheel", and that' the side that lights up.

The car that made these two equal length tire marks had positraction, can't make those marks without positraction, which is not available on the 1964 Buick Skylark
Q: And why not? What is positraction?
A: It's a limited slip deferential which distributes power equally to both the right and left tires. The '64 Skylark had a regular deferential, which anyone who's been stuck in the mud in Alabama knows, you step on the gas, one tire spins, the other tire does nothing.
Juror: That's right.
