I too use my Ian Cull circuit to full advantage... I hate DSC in dry weather... but I'll turn it on at the first sign of rain (or snow, when the time comes).

However I try to remember to disable the DSC feature of my Ian Cull circuit whenever I am letting a friend drive my car, or when I take it to the dealer for service. Might as well keep the extra safety, plus I don't want to have to explain the warning light hehe.

It's too bad that we can't selectively adjust just HOW sensitive DSC is, or turn off only certain parts (like the straight line wheelspin issue, when accellerating hard).

I understand that the MTH maps reduce the intrusiveness of the DSC. If it's true that might be a good enough reason to get MTH by itself.

MTH is an ECU software modification used to enhance performance. It is uploaded to your car's ECU using a laptop and software available for that purpose. It's a re-flash like GIAC, but you can do it yourself.

Great sig, man! I laughed out loud when you mentioned the PMS with the wife in the car. I'm sure I'll be hearing (and feeling) that too with my lady.
Great name, BTW.
