And I agree, TC really is for the majority of the population that aren't particularly great at driving. But I don't agree that it is for the incompetant.

We are not gods of driving. Mistakes happen. We are fallable, no matter how great you are at driving... I would like to think I'm a decent driver. No accident history, racing experience, decent sense of surrounding area. But for that 1/10000 chance of an unexpected scenerio, I'll be happier knowing that my car will grab traction again quicker than I can react for me.

Similarly: I don't get into accidents, but hell if I do, I'll be glad that airbag I don't use is there too.

I have nothing against safety features, only traction control because it changes how the car acts in certain situations. I like having airbags and seat belts, hell, if I could I'd put a 6 point harness, because Race Car.
