Default Controlling... traction control

Not sure about you guys but it's an automatic thing for me to disable traction control as soon as I start the car. I'm just a purist in the fact that a slight swing in rear to stear every now and then feels pretty good.

I've looked around and there are several companies that make a device that will set traction control to whatever you left it at last and wanted to know if any of you have used one? Do you like it?

Example

Thanks,

I turn mine off to if its a dry day. I not I leave it on because I would be all over the place, and it isnt from a lack of experience (driving for ten years) but the simple fact that I can barely get traction on dry pavement... Im all over the place when it rains.
