Hmmm... let's put it this way: What's the big deal about a guy that can dance?

k, i get it now...cause on Friday night when dancing......the band commented that the guy i was with and i danced well together.....they probably thought we were more then just friends....not so though.

thanks for the education on this forum...don't know what i would do without you all.

You didn't notice the avatar? If you've seen pictures of SoCal, there is no confusion...

Dammmittt · 08-07-2007, 07:11 PM

The avatar is a car...if it was something else before that...I must've ignored it.

Thanks Yal and just so there's no confusion (if you're interested)...for better or worse...yep, that's me. Doesn't mean I won't get my hands dirty...just make sure I get my manicures and pedicure

I've noticed I'm still jerky most the time from 1st to 2nd. So I guess I'll be doing that CDV thing. I love the sport button though....as I noticed last night it's not as restrictive with the traction control when it's on. I'm just about annoyed with that blinking yellow light though. I'm about to start driving with it steady on.

Leave it to the gentleman Yal to straighten things out. Way to go Yal.

Yah, back to the topic...i tried the sport button and about killed the car.....felt like such a newbie too.....NEVER use the sport button.

Sorry guys....i'm a sport button hater.

I've played with my Sport button a bit, and it really necessitates harder driving to "get" the difference AND the benefit of Sports mode.

If you want to pussy-foot around, then Sports mode is a pain. The throttle sensitivity is too much and the auto just sits in 3rd gear all the time, waiting for some action.

But hit some favourite twisties - Woa Momma! - That is where it comes into its own.

I guess that some of the fairer sex here, that find the Sports mode too unforgiving, well they just don't drive the car the way a Zed (Zee?) is meant to be driven.
