When turning off traction control do you just push it or do you hold it in so the other function is turned off? Sorry I forgot what it is.
...going to have to start her up and practice that routine lol .........i know i am

According to everyone that's chimed in on this, Yes.

I'm tempted to turn everything off every time I drive it anywhere, rain or shine. I drive like an old man, anyway... lol

A little know fact...for every mile you drive the Slingshot you get to subtract an hour of age. I hope to get down to 35 yo.

Turn off if the pavement is wet. Standing water is the real problem. f one wheel/tire hits standing water.

I thought it was for every hour you drive you get to subtract an hour of age?

That only works if driving backwards...

Now, if you really want to commit to making your Slingshot your daily driver do what I did
The day I brought my Slingshot home I called up my daughter and gave her my car, My daughters car was on its deathbed and at the time she would have needed our help financially to get a new car. My wife was not 100% convinced that I should get the Slingshot, but I saw an opening and told her if I did get the slingshot I would give my car to our daughter and thus get what I wanted and also solve my daughters transportation problem - - - Frankly it was one of my best decisions, not only did it help someone else, but it really forced me to commit to the Slingshot as a daily driver by eliminating the temptation to drive something else when it was too hot or too cold or too wet

I couldn't drive my Slingshot to guitar lessons this week as I had two stops to make and couldn't just leave the guitar in the SS. I won't do that again i will skip the grocery store and the auto parts store.

I do have to admit that from a weather point of view I live in what is probably one of the very few areas of the country where we actually have year round good riding weather - - in the 3+ years I have had the Slingshot as my daily driver I can count the number of times I have been rained on without even having to take my shoes off
-
As a side note I should mention that in winter I have a rain suit I keep in the driver side compartment - - I bought it the first winter after I got the Slingshot and so far I have never been in a situation where it rained enough to warrant actually using it.
I think it is one of those murphy's law kind of things - if you have it you wont need it, but God help you if you dont have it - - - - kind of like the condom you put in your wallet when you were 16
