you can call me a ***** for using a "safety feature" when the roads are slick all you want. i have over $20k in mods on my car, that may not seem like a lot of money to some, but it is to me and i'd rather be on the safe side. i feel no need to prove my "amazing driving skills" when my money is at risk.

i rarely used TCS on my car. allthough i found it can help your wife/gf drive your car in **** weather if they are inexperienced.

For most people on here its more of an embarassment when you get on it and it makes you look like a total dumbass that doesnt know how to drive.

Also, i thought headrests and badges make your car faster??
