egs, my dad told me about a guy who worked at one of the local Mercedes dealerships and decided to take out a customer's car for a spin and turn off the traction control. He basically wiped out a very expensive car that wasn't his. Needless to say, he lost his job.
I haven't turned mine off yet but my dad has ridden in the car and gone, "What's this little button," with his finger poised to press it. I just hope if I ever lend him my car he'll remember not to turn it off. I recall hearing a story a while back from a Porsche salesman who lost control of a Boxster when he tried to drive it like a BMW.
