VSA turned off. lol

So for whatever reason last night I decided "Hmmm lets take the VSA off and leave from this light like I stole the car"

WOW, the car freaking spins through first REALLY fast, let off let it shift to second and same damn thing in 2nd. So I'm thinking this must be really freakin bad for the tranny let me stop. (no signs of wear as of now)

These cars really should have been RWD.

Yeah, I'm usually very nice to the car. I accelerate briskly from time to time, drive over the speed limit, but very gradual. Last night I decided to see what the car was really like when pushed. I was impressed, but damn there was NO traction. Maybe with better tires it wouldnt have been so bad either.

yup.. the rubber matters.. epecially when u gun it.... i treat my car like a rental sometimes... (mostr of the time when i'm drunk) and sometimes i hate myself for it... cuz the next day.. i come and look at it and i just feel bad for treating it... kinda ilke a dog.. that u kick lol....

sigh.. maybe i should start driving it more softer.. maybe its my hard pedal.. thats causing me to accelerate harda l the time since when i press it a lil, the car FLIES!
