Not to diss you Charlie (well, yes I am
) but TC is a waste. Drove cars for 20 years before ABS, TC and all these other nannies came into practice with nary an issue.
First time I ever experienced TC was in Ms.D's SB pulling out of a road onto another that had an incline to it. The road I was pulling out of was snow covered and the main road had some slush on it so all I was going to do was mash the gas and go but the TC kicked and all sorts of nonsense happened. Besides the dash lighting up like Coney Island, the car bogs down, steering got heavy, scared the crap out of me as there were cars coming from both directions, not close enough to hit me but still if the car stalled they would have been honking at me.
I know you are a good driver Charlie and you've been driving aaaaalllllooootttt longer than me and I'd bet you haven't had many, if any accidents. How many of the nannies in your SHO do you still have turned on?
The only nannie I will admit tolerating is the backup beep beep thing, but I could live w/o that too.
Friendly rant over
