So I'm driving back from dinner with this chick Friday, and it had just started raining. I had the VDC off because I've been havin a little more fun than usual driving around lately.. I'm at a light turning left where I go really slow because of a bump in the road.

All of a sudden (while turning) I look to her and say "this could be interesting"... Shift into 2nd and give it just a little gas and UH OH, I'm facing left, 90° off-axis in my lane.

Kinda funny because I saw it coming and gave her the heads up, and because there were no cars short of 1 I had already passed by sitting at the light. Put it in reverse, turned the VDC back on, and went on my merry way.

It's easy to see how people that aren't 100% on the ball can lose their ass (and their car) with the VDC off.

Yeah, driving around Saturday in the rain, I was thinking of finding a local empty parking lot to have a little time on a wet skidpad. Then I thought about all the what-ifs, and decided I won't
