This type of comment is why they call the warning lights "idiot lights". Lexus, Volkswagen and lots of other cars have a text display that warns you to stop the engine. That is, unless you drive an ancient car, in which case you should learn what the dash lights mean and look at them...

Most of those systems help people who don't know how to really drive a car. I occasionally turn off stabilitrak if i know i want to have some fun. The only ones i think are critical are power brakes and abs.
