I like that on Chuck!

I never have my VDC on unless I get caught in the rain

As for the on-off issue, my VDC will turn off/on while driving np

Sincere question for you non-VDCers. What is the purpose of having it off all the time on the street? My interpretation is that it is turned off for more aggressive driving. But on the street? I would hope not. Maybe it's too overbearing for some? The only time mine is off is when I have to launch quickly to get in front of some traffic.

Again, I just want to hear some explanations. Frankly I don't care if one drives with VDC on or off.

Two reasons for me. I don't like having power cut out on me. I'd rather light up the tires a little than try to pull out in traffic and have the computer cut the power because it senses a little slip. Also, once you get substantially more power than stock, it seems like it just doesn't know what to do anymore.

This.

I leave mine on because I don't like yellow lights.

I have a feeling if I turn off this magical button, I may end up going through rear tires in about 5k miles.

I have not tried turning it off to see what kind of take off I have, but I may try it this weekend if it dries up.
I love my car regardless of VDC or not. If it were permanent I don't think it would not bother me one bit. Sure I feel the power cut from time to time and the little yellow light flashing, but eh.

Still...they see me rollin, they hatin.
