She then proceeded to hand out dictionaries to all of us, and made the comment that for the most part, we can't spell worth a damn.
And while that is a stereotype, it's not that far off the mark.

Happens when you move the steering wheel too soon after a cold start, the system has not finished running startup tests.

I ordered a couple of these units to maintain the last mode the car was in when it was last shut off and installed one in the wife's A4 first (guinea pig car 
) and it is working fine. It is nice not to have to hold the TC/AH button down. I do have to hit the DIC reset button to wipe the display though. The unit works as advertised. Not sure if they're still around.

My wife doesn't really understand the different modes so, occassionally I'll get in the car and she's accidentally hit the AH/TC button on the console and knocked it all back on so I have to reset it. Works fine when I'm driving her car.

I can't believe you guys are letting your wives drive your car. My wife drives my lt1 camaro and that's Plenty for her to screw up. She only drives to vette when I'm with her. Women just don't realize how low cars are.

Just to clarify, I too tried the search feature first but got frustrated before starting this thread. And what fun is that anyway? The whole idea of the forum is to start a dialogue among friends which certainly seems to have happened here. Beat to death or not, there seems to be a lot of people wanting to discuss it. For you senior members who have no patience with us newbies, I apologize but I have lots of questions and enjoy talking with you guys as part of the whole corvette experience. Just sayin...
