hahahaha, funny guy
some people i know take the traction control and ABS systems out of their car (apparently you short out the wires for it or something like that) cause they like it that way or just buy a car without the features

but of course if your not a real driver, then dont touch it
its not that *BLEEP*ing hard...
remove the features if you can handle it, if you can't then dont

friend recently bought a HSV Maloo (fastest ute/pickup in the world) and optioned it without traction control

It's time to let this silly thread die. I'm off to do more important things, like watching the Royal Wedding!

I totally agree with this.


Now I just need a 50-lb sack of potatoes for that empty passenger seat
j/k !!

No, my other hand is picking songs while my right leg is on the pedal and the left knee is doing the steering =] people usually have a nice system in their trunk... I have a mini refrigerator there with full accessibility from the back seats for refreshments. gotta show my passengers how its like to be in a Lexus!

You can use the navi on acuras while in motion..

And what about passengers... http://i.autoblog.com/2011/04/28/opinion-automakers-let-my-wife-use-the-nav/

Also you don't have to hack the and splice wires. There are simple plug and play units like NavTool and Prestigious Society (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=567587)
