If you've never been to MI, you have to actually make a U-turn in a U-turn lane to go left on the 'mile road' boulevards instead of just taking a left at the traffic light of the intersecting road. So I was waiting to pull out and there was really heavy traffic, and after waiting 2 minutes I decided just to waste the gas and floor it so I could get home sometime today.

All the traffic was doing ~50-60 and there was about a 200 foot opening between a minivan and a new Lexus GS...so I pulled out squealing the tires in first, upshifted to 2nd at 4k to get the tires under control and all of a sudden NOTHING...no power, just fucking rolling along at 25MPH with a Lexus coming up my ass. I thought the engine had stalled or I had blown something up. I looked down and the fucking traction control light was flipping out The asshole system completely cut the throttle and I almost got rear ended. I felt so embarassed The end.

Cliffs: Traction control systems are worthless and cause accidents.

 

yay for no tcs

 

turn vsa off?

 

If you were in a BMW, that wouldn't have happened.


Glad you're ok, though.

 

TCS =/ VSA h: I wish I had VSA.

And I make a point to disable it everytime I get in the car, but I was tired today A 4 hour meeting with absolute idiots from Chrysler will bring down anyone.

 

no TCS crew ftw.

 

Damn that sucks, seems like you've been having problems left & right with that car. :hs:

 

TCS sux0rz

 

I drive my car not let my car tell me how to drive.

No TCS
No ABS
No power steering

At least not in my Accord...never have and never will.

 

You're such a bad ass. The ladies must throw themselves at you

Upon further reflection, I'm going to go outside now and rip out the TCS fuse. That system has assfucked me on several occaisons.
