Poll about vdc on/off....

It is a safety feature, but there once was a time when people drove without traction control. Shocking, I know.

The reason to take it off is purely foolish, purely selfish, it is about fun.

With it on, if you go around a corner too quickly, the electronic nannies in the computer kill your throttle so that you go around the corner slowly but safely.
With it off, if you go around a corner too quickly, you engage in oversteer, can correct the skid, and powerslide through the turn, fast and fun.

Now, you may wonder why anyone would want to do that, but it's obviously desirable for a large enough group that major car manufacturers allow the driver the control to turn it off if they like.
