Before anyone jumps to conclusions, let me put to rest any rumors or bad thoughts you all may have. First, yes. I am a ricer. I have been driving around in a spray painted, lowered, rust-bucket of a Miata with a style bar. But, I can admit it. Second, yes. I do like to drift (But honestly this welded diff thing sucks.) Third, I do in-fact wear Wayfarers (But the fake, off-brand ones), and I look like a try-hard douchebag with them on.

And yeah, he said he was doing it as a stopgap since he needed transportation. If he does it for a few days and fixes it after the holidays I'm sure the car will survive.
If he's driving like he's on a drift course, then yeah the drivetrain might suffer.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt!

55 going into Key West... but that's a 4 mile stretch of road... It's honestly hell trying to get in and out of the Keys, especially this time of year. Thank you, man. I appreciate it.

Good news folks! The welded diff has held up since December! And with some pretty heavy abuse.
That being said, living with a welded diff has not held up so well. It's embarrassing with the constant tire screeching during low speed corners, and alongside with that, how easily it eats through tires. So I've got a Torsen out of a '99 and I plan to swap it I'm very shortly. Just need some ABS axles and a new pumpkin.
