The following text is taken straight out of the "Salesperson Source Book". Nobody would turn off their system for any other reason, would they?
Personal Safety SystemTMSpecificsAll-Speed Traction Control SpecificsSAFETY/SECURITYThis page is about:2005 MustangSafety/SecurityMustangMustang15July 2004All-Speed Traction Control
The driver can turn off All-Speed Traction Control using a dash-mounted switch.
Why would anyone want to turn off their All-Speed Traction Control system?
· To allow excess wheel spin to dig out the vehicle if it's stuck in the snow or on a slippery surface, and to enable a successful "rocking" maneuver· When using tire chains
Remind your customers that once the system is switched Off, it defaults to On
when the vehicle is restarted or when the On/Off button is pressed again.

There....I feel much better now I liked the old one because it symbolized how I feel right now waiting on my car.

Climbing a icy or snowy hill could be too because with traction control on you have almost no power in that situation. heck, I can floor it in second and the car barely crawl up the hill!

Chris - Not flaming you here, but I'm not sure what you're talking about with the pooch? Also, I'm not getting spinners....just bullits and putting pony centercaps on.

As far as my "pooch" remark, I was referring to the dog head you photoshopped onto your avatar picture. I read that you changed your avatar and then changed it back because someone objected.

LOL No sweat Chris....I've already had my quota of coffee today. I've been at work since 5:30 this morning. I had switched avatars from the dog to a stickman walking around in a square box. I didn't realize someone was already using that one so I found the chimp one I'm using now.
Can't wait to see some movement on my order....allocation shortage at my dealership

When I was stuck in the snow last night, turning the TCS off sure didn't help me lol. The good news is, it only took about an hour to get out of it.
Wish I would have had my camera with me, it was actually pretty funny. A few people stopped to say they liked the car, but didn't help push. Nice of them.

My ex wife and daughter got stuck once. A guy stopped to push them out and told her to "rock it". She didn't know what he meant so she and my daughter were both sitting there in their seats, rocking back and forth thinking that's what he meant He wasn't amused.
