I usually drive without it, especially in the rain. I swear VDC in the rain is scary as hell for some reason

I never drive hard enough for it to kick on in the rain.

Man, I don't have a toothbrush. Gross.

isnt the fuse for the VDC/TCS the same one for the rear brake lights?

When I first got the car I was afraid to turn TCS off, then when I finally turned it off I drove like an idiot and fish tailed getting on to the highway. I kept it on for a long time after that, but now i just drive kind of like an idiot and have a better idea of when the rear is gonna slide so i always have it off.

I agree greg, TCS is scary in the rain

I've only turned it off autocrossing & when driving like a jackass in an open field.

I'm nervous.

Well I assume everything worked out. I am glad to hear you are having a better day. Did Tire Rack have your tire?

I have no idea Trent, I was just assuming ABS because they used the same sensor.

I remember trying to floor it in the rain with VDC on and I would always get sideways for some reason, more than I would with it off.

I haven't watched TV on a tube TV in quite some time. That high-pitched whine noise is REALLY annoying.

Oh, no problem at all. I was making sure you were able to get your tire. I was going to check for some other dealers in your area for you, if not. Sucks to be down in unfamiliar territory.

Thanks for looking out.
