This reminds me of a Windows user sitting in front of a Mac and going 'uh... I can't right-click anything'... yeah, there's only one button on a Mac's mouse, no such thing as right-click. Get used to it.

+1...Take it easy on wet pavement... Any car with lots of power and not AWD will spin in the wet. That "slip" light is telling you that the VDC is doing it's job, keeping you from doing a donut on the road. have a good day!

Did the 05 5AT sports have VLSD or an open differential? My 03 sport has an open differential and it's easy to break the one wheel loose.

Hmm. 05 = 280 HP, not 306.
