VDC allows you to become lazy, and picks up the slack. It fixes your minor mistakes, where maybe you would have just fishtailed a little. It corrects that for you. Unfortunately, you now don't get that experience of learning just how far out you would have swung your ***, nor do you scare the piss out of yourself by almost crushing a fire hydrant with your car. So you don't learn as much as you would have. We learn the most from our mistakes.

I turn off VDC as a habit every time I get in the car. I don't go tearing up the streets, I have 13k mi on my OEM tires, and plenty to go. I just don't want the nanny messing with my driving.
