traction control off = fun

Just purchased my 2007 XK a month ago and I've been driving with the DSC set on off. It's winter here in Chicago but mild so far. Love putting that tail out a little when turning. I grew up with rear wheel drive cars without any traction control so it's second nature to me. Wondering how many of you drive with DSC off all the time?

I turn mine off frequently in my S-type when driving on fresh snow or glare ice. Does more harm than good in certain situations.

Very fun, but use caution!

Sometimes it is best to just leave some buttons alone...
