so.
this was embarassing, and this is something i know officially hate.

That stupid traction control button on the new edge stangs. I dont have this problem with my 98 because....it doesnt have one.

so back on to the embarassing moment, i was hangin out at a party/kickback, with the friends, and some were like "hey maz, light umm up" so, i was like you got it man.

Forgot to turn off the button, and stalled amnit:

people laughed, and it sucked, but luckily, i redeemed myself, and got it right.

So, i know most of you prolly never forget to turn it off, but i did, and just to remind u guys, if your going to do it, just remember what happen to me. It sucks, and btw, has this ever happened to any of you guys? ? ?

I think alot of people have been there. I remember when I first bought my car I had no idea that I had traction controll untill i tried to smoke the tires. At first I thought my car was f%&*d up then i pulled over and got out my manual and found out about it. tires were a spinnin after that.

Yeah it happened to me. Had the car for a week, had some civic trying to mess with me. Had him through 1st, went to **** to 2nd and bamn! car fell flat on it's face when it spun the tires. I held it floored but it went nowhere and the civic caught up and passed me


I can't knock the T/C though. I've been daily drivng my Mustang this winter and that darn T/C has saved my ass a few times on black ice. It sucks from a stop but if you are moving and hit some ice it does a pretty good job of cutting power so you can get back under control. I've had it save me in a few turns and definitely reacted quicker than I could.

I know we all hate it, but it's not that hard to reach forward and hit a button. Of course, in the winter time and in the rain...i leave it on.

It happened to me in the waterbox at the track! All of my friends knew what happened, but everyone else probably thought I was a tool!

glad my 99 doesnt have it lol. my dads 03 mach does though and it almost got me t-boned pulling out onto the highway one day, forgot about it and his tires dont grip like my dr's do, got in it a little to hard and it spun and then fell flat on its face. i was quick to realize what happened and hit the button just in time to get out of the way.
