That being said, this winter even if I apply what I preach, I got caugth by a large black ice spot at 45 mi/h (in a 55 zone). Lost control because the TCS quicked in... was almost able to get it to stop, but I did hit an ice bank.... had to get the front and back bumper replace.
I was lucky, it could have been much worse at that speed, without my snow tires... man... it would much more then just 2 bumpers.

As of now, TCS is on only during Summer time. After this, I disengaged TCS when there was snow or feel conditions were changing. I was already disengaging TCS at low speed in snow. (When I lost control, it actually felt the same as when TCS is on at low speed when I turned a corner in snow, that's why I know it's TCS that did it)
