Permanently Turn Off Traction Control?
I have an 04.5 Enthusiast I just bought and when I turn off the traction control and then turn off the car and re-start the traction control is back on.. Has anyone figured out a permanent way to turn it on and off? I still want it for the rain, but I dont want the crap turning on every time I park my car for errands...

Any reason you want it permanently off? Do you like to leave strips from your $1,000 set of Bridgestones at every intersection? 
I leave the VDC on in my Z all the time, even when doing some spirited driving on occasion, and it's never hurt a thing...

Dude, it's a BUTTON. It's not like you need two people simultaneously turning launch keys and entering a 15 digit, alphanumeric code. You're still driving a vehicle that requires you to turn a key to start it! Oh, the humanity!!
Park in front of the Rub&Tug and (if it's NOT raining) when you get back, push the ******* button.
*Whoa! I think this coffee is DeCaf...

There is a module you can buy that turns it off every time you start the car. Then when you need it on, you just hit the button to turn it back on.

This is exactly what I want. I still want it for when it rains, but to answer other posters YES it is too hard to hit a button every time I start my goddamn car up.

Every time I take a corner fast and accelerate the POS traction system almost stalls the car - and this is dangerous if you need to accelerate in traffic. I am not a 17 yo dumbass - I don't need it on dry pavement.
Btw, I have a receipt from the previous owner for the tires and the Bridgestones were like 150 a piece - so yes burning up a 300 dollar set on the back isn't exactly going to break my budget..

To clarify I just meant that when I park the car turn it off and then on - then the system comes back on; so far it has only "kicked in" when cornering fast - which would otherwise be a minimal spin/drift - nothing unsafe, but the system feels the need to practically stall the car.

Your spirited driving must be pretty gay if its not kicking in.
