FWIW... I knew about the whole button thing, but I had never seen the video before. Thanks for sharing.

Pointless thread, hell. That's was a great video - one that every new owner should watch before holding that button down. Soundtrack rocks, too.

Hell, the owner's manual tells you in a roundabout way to hold in the button to disable the DSC permanently.

Yeah, I was joking about the music. But I really did enjoy the video. I keep hoping to find a huge empty parking lot on a wet day so I can fully test the limits of my turns sans DSC and TC.

The manual clearly states:

"By pressing the DSC button for 7 seconds every time you start up your car, it will eventually become second nature."

Allright, I'll take it. It's a strong smoke, but it's good. Hey Miami isn't a far drive for me either! hint.....hint......hint. I thought the English gent doing the video would be the Romeo & Juliette type. as for me I'll take any Cuban, simply the best!

congratulations. you've made yourself look like a big tool.
Actually this thread was very cool! I never saw that video before and I'm glad someone let me know about it.

Has anyone noticed that pidge1114 has over 100 posts that all say the same thing? How old are you pidge? Just curious.
