Been driving my g35 for about 2 weeks now and I anxious to turn my vdc off and see what she's made of, but before I do so I was wondering who drives with it off daily and will it eventually harm your car.

It will not harm your car at all... unless you get sideways, lose control of your car and wreck.

I don't think I've ever turned off VDC. But then again I drive like a grandma so it has never even come on before.

I turn it off sometimes. I hate when it kicks in sometimes. The car just jolts and wheels and it wheels spins just a bit.

Mine is always off. First thing I do after starting the car is hit that button.

There is no need to turn it off unless you are at the track. It shouldn't kick in, on pavement, if you are driving responsibly on our streets. The only time I have ever felt it engage is in the winter and I don't drive like a grandmother either.
If you want to turn it off its your choice but I don't see the point.

It's second nature for me to automatically turn it off when I get in the car.
Haven't had any issues by turning it off for daily driving.
I prefer to have the most control over the car that I can.
I drive aggressively but not like an A-hole.
Can't stand when the VDC diminishes the power on me when I'm going into a corner
