Don't do what? Sober up often?  rofl rofl Cheesy
 Sorry couldn't help it fell of the wagon.  Roll Eyes Did it again.... didn't I?

I love the s-mode when taking an exit ramp at about 30 ish seems the car enjoys the downshift as it slides gently around the corner. Cheap thrill.  yes

Can't wait to get my NF210 springs on to get the feel then. Smiley

I never use the Smode.....I don't like driving a stick.  I learned to drive one in a VW van, a '70 something or other.  I thought it was cool tho, cuz it was the only vehicle we had with a cassette player!  rofl

I finally found a use for S-mode.  I was hauling a small trailer in my xB and needed to keep the revs up a little so I wouldn't bog the motor.

S-mode was perfect for keeping it in the gear I wanted.

So I take back my "gimmick" remark because there is a use for it, even in the Texas weather we have down here.

You can shift into "S" mode while driving in the "D" position.
