    I miss the handbrake in my Tacoma both because it worked so well and because it allowed me to really get some sliding shenanigans going but I can and have done donuts with the full time four-wheel drive so no I don't miss them :D

    Don't even need a handbrake in the Tacoma - just pull the ABS fuse and lock up those rear drums

    Not since blowing out my transmission in my trailblazer ss. Corvette engine and power in a trailblazer body, but they slacked on the tranny and I paid the price.

    I bet it happened not on snow / ice right? I thought I won't break mine doing this on snow/ice with both traction & stability off since the tires allow to slip freely. Maybe I should stop it.
