- A If you crash -> you didn't have tc, but needed it badly
- B If you don't crash, cought the slide, have a big smile and turned around to do it again -> you didn't have tc, and you don't need it either
- C If nothing happend and wonder what's all the fuss -> you have tc and need it
- D If nothing happend and really are bored with this kind of handling -> you have tc but you actually don't need it. But hey, it can be turned of with the switch on the console ...

Markk, out of curiosity, are you a computer programmer?
Mine has the PSM and I could feel that it works everytime I made a 90 degree right turn blasting out from nearby convenience store. The left wheels stop moving for a few fraction of secs, preventing the backend of the car to spin out.
