Went for a drive with my buddy RS near George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch on Friday night. He had never been in my car, so I thought I'd take him for a ride. I was fun taking Mika out on some windy mountain roads again, after spending more time getting used to her. Things feel natural, and it doesn't feel like I'm fighting with her all the time.
There were a few incidents that night. One of them was running into a mob of about 20 guys who looked like they were taking a walk along the road. We couldn't figure out why they'd be there, but it was scary. The next was blasting along a straight road: revved up 1st gear, redlined 2nd, roared into 3rd, and suddenly I saw a cop car approaching an intersection ahead of me from the right! I eased on the brake to slow down, and let it off just before I reached the cop car so as not to raise suspicion; all while hoping that I had slowed down enough to not appear to be speeding.
Surprisingly, VDC did not kick in at all. I was expecting it to, since it has kicked in before at lower lateral Gs. RS theorizes that having 2 people in the car balanaces the car out a little more, while the VDC system is getting confused with all the car's mods and having only 1 person in the car.
