Nobody would notice that :-p. Do it in super small print, or use the spoiler button. Then people would get it lol

Good thing there is no button for ABS. Else people will start turning that off too.

Quoted from above.

No insult intended, but you said yourself you sold it because you're scared of killing yourself. The kid's just a convenient excuse.

The whole story is just hilarious because I think its pretty obvious that you got in a bit over your head with the car and your kid, and now after the accident its probably even worse. You wouldn't have bothered "bragging" about losing your monthly payment, otherwise.

So which is it? You're scared to drive and kill yourself because you can't control your own urges to drive like a nut in a sports car? Or is it finances and being a good parent for your kid? Im going with the latter, FWIW.

Also, one final note: you're probably just as likely to die in a 370Z as you are in *insert whatever your new, cheaper vehicle will be here*. So the argument that you sold it for the good of your child as far as SAFETY goes, is silly.

Back on the VDC topic, both sides have some fair points. I think the VDC actually is to blame for some 370Z accidents. People drive with it on all the time and it corrects their minor mistakes, never allowing them to feel out the limits and really learn to drive the car. Then when they make slightly larger mistakes that the VDC can't compensate for (basic physics always still applies) they're pretty much SOL, since they've got no feel for handling the car.

That being said, I still think for casual street driving in wet conditions, leaving the VDC on is a good bet for some extra safety insurance. It can save you from stupid situations. I'd still recommend explicitly turning it off most of the time and learning to drive the car though.
