I leave all of them off, from driving to school to picking up the mail.
Because racecar.

Dude shaved 2 secs off the stability run and says that you can be faster with stability on... dafuq...

I drive with my TC off ALL the time... because I can!

In the event of an accident, can the ECU log if traction control was on or not?
Food for thought if it does.

Don't really feel a difference, mind you I'm still in break in mode :p

My last car ended up like this, so I leave mine on all the time. I don't another stupid mistake in a low traction scenario and I'd rather not repeat another wet slide/roll.

Insurance will be rated on the safety factor of SC and TC. If it was off when you total the car and they can prove it do you think they will still pay out?

This.
Insurance can dig around and try to point the finger at you.
I've heard of extreme tints being blamed, among other things.
As much as I'd like to believe how awesome a driver I am (and that writer does too and he competes in Formula D), you can't deny how smart those systems are.
And I'm also a programmer so yeah, I have faith in them.

Mine got blamed on me. "Unsafe driving in hazardous conditions." Corner, rain, too fast, bald tires. Totally my fault (which it was) and my premiums went up.

However, they also cut me a check for 10.5k, which I used as my down payment for the FR-S.

I only turn mine off to see what happens on a corner[3 times] and then turn it back on. The other day I turned onto a damp road, gave it some on the turn in 1st and the same to the 90kph limit. The light was flashing the whole time but it was as steady as a rock and certainly not down on power. I was very impressed.
