I almost lost control of my twin the first month as well. Slippery oily roads, just started learning manaul, threw the clutch out to quick and the back snapped. Was a close call indeed. But on april 15th i wasn't so lucky I got t-boned by an asian lady in her 97 civic. You can't win them all.

That's awful! Hopefully the cars on its way to recovery and you were all safe. It's true, sometimes life just gives a big FU and the stupidity of others results in our misfortune How long until the cars fully repaired? |

I'm not offended, I just don't think there's any reason to ever turn traction control off outside of a race track.
I've been on a lot of spirited canyon carving drives here in the SF bay area, and I've never had my fun level limited by keeping the nannies on. Quote:

The I only reason I turn traction control off is because it's a new and exciting button for me to play with. I come from having a 115hp jetta city to a rwd frs. The only way to learn what it does is to use it in a controlled environment. I think that's all it gets down to is a learning curve that's all.

True. But with any rwd car and a young inexp driver it's going to happen till they get caught or cause an accident. Either way they will learn and hopefully never do it again.

Unfortunately because of those drivers, I get profiled and pulled over a lot more than I should. I've been pulled over more in this car since I bought it in December than I have in my 8 years of driving.
