took vdc off

I mostly leave it on, but turn it off once in a while. It has its uses. For example, the other day a guy in a G35 turns right on

I mostly leave it on, but turn it off once in a while. It has its uses. For example, the other day a guy in a G35 turns right on red right in front of me (plenty of room behind, but nooooo), then stops with his left signal on 'cause he wants to move over into the next (logjammed) lane. I simultaneously whipped it around him on his right, redlining it, honking the horn and flipping him off. With VDC off, I'd probably have to skipped either the redline engine note, the horn, or the finger. It would have been tragic!

Because VDC is more interesting than cabin noise?

Problem is that everyone thinks they drive well, even if they can't.

How did you know that's the t-shirt I was designing? Did you hack my cafepress account Dreezy?

Forget it then. I'll get a "Vote for Pedro" shirt instead.

once i found out how to disable it (disconnecting the harness) i had it off 24/7, even in the winter and rain.

I own a 05 SRT-10 Ram pushing 430rwhp... trying to keep a rwd truck with no weight in the back on the road during the winter is hard, having that much horsepower is even harder but fun...lol.
