I take it Davie's comments were a joke?

Yes, four drums. A double roller for each wheel.
Scary!

Ron.
When I said all wheels turned in the same direction, what I meant was that last time I got my emissions done, and when they rolled the vehicle onto the 4 rollers, I looked at my car and all wheels turned in the same direction.

When you say dynos, do you mean the roller drums they put the vehicle on to do the emissions test?

I'm thoroughly confused here. Why would that be a bad thing for our cars?

Dont' the drums spin freely with the wheels?

Like I said, if all wheels turn in the same direction, what's the problem?

Why can't we go in the 4wd lane along with all the other AWD/4WD vehicles?

Confused, very confuesed. ???????????

And what is a "double roller?"

Sorry if I'm missing here.

Thanks.
