Cool Option request ...Kid mode or Devil/Angel mode

On some threads we have been talking about turning off the DSCand TC, but turning it on when the family is in the car.

I would like a future option the Devil and Angel mode switch.

It would turn off the DSC/TC and lets us drive it like the devil;

then hit the button to turn DSC/TC on when the kids and family are in it.

Honestly, while some of us allude to leaving it on with children in the car, the car is by no means unsafe or too wrily to haul them with it off. Remember that the base model does not come with DSC/TCS, and I would certainly haul my 4-yr olds in that as well. It's just that (for me) having to consciously turn it off completely is more trouble than it's worth with the kiddos as we make our multiple short trips throughout the evening. It's an added measure of idiot-proofing, in case I need it.

Isnt it though? I went to a local mall that has a huge lot about 3am and wanted to see what I had to do to break traction without it. I dont care what some power weenies say, it's got plenty of that :D I was sli[pping and sliding all over the palce enjoying the hell out of it. It's also amazing to me how decent DSC is when on since I never felt like the car was forcing me to drive differently. it just let me be an *** and NOT spin out every 3 seconds :D
