Everytime I crank my car I hit the off button. I wouldn't do it in the rain, but I never drive mine in the rain. I do take driving serious though even if it is just to cruise. My feet and hands are my VDC.

Never really understood all the hooplah surrounding VDC off. I turned it off quite a bit and never had any issues. A car is like a gun. It's not going to rocket out of control as long as you don't pull the trigger.

Well, then 99% of the time you'll go in the intended direction of travel.

I usually kept VDC off 75% of the time in the dry because I found it to be pretty intrusive. In the rain, though, I liked to leave it on as a little bit of an insurance policy.

Hmmm, I haven't turned it off yet because I've been afraid of losing control and crashing. I think I will try it out today on my way home from work. Don't wanna do anything too crazy, just wanna get a feel of the car.

I suppose if you've never driven a fast RWD car with no electronic support the Z can seem scary (please no WS6 stories). Just remember to be careful if you don't have experience, especially in colder climates with summer tires.
