My guess is the people that were experiencing slippage and squirrely-ness were trying to drive too hard in cold weather.
The other day when it snowed here I was on my stockers trying to see how far I could get the car out-of-shape and the VSC would fix it. At one point I got it to shave 20mph, off, lol. It still kept me pointed straight though.

Yeah, I can't figure out how so many people wreck this car. The nannies are brilliant and quite good at their job. They will save you from quite a lot. I guess all the wrecks happen with them off.

Probably, although I suppose if you're too fast, you're too fast it might keep you straight but straight into something.

Hmm I think It might be a good idea for me to own a motorcycle, since I spent last fall in class and getting a license. If you don't practice how will I get better at this lol

Been no great finance debates since Dave isn't here as much. Wonder if there is more to that correlation?
