Unless you've crashed a lot (or spun out on a track) you probably don't know how to really drive without nannies.
Lol - clearly you DON'T know how to drive without nannies, as evidenced by all the cars you've crashed!

2012 Chevy Cruze (rental) - I was doing an internship up in New Hampshire one summer and instead of driving my POS truck 2000 miles I just got a long-term rental car. One weekend decided to drive up to the White Mountains and found an empty, winding gravel road. As a dumb 21 year-old, I thought I was a rally driver so I started drifting around the turns until the stability control caught me. That was ruining the fun, so I turned it off. A dozen more turns down the road, I let it come a bit too far around, overcorrected, and put it into a dirt embankment off the side of the road. Cracked a boost pipe and it ran like shit, but at least I was able to get it back home.

1998 Chevy Silverado - Took it mudding and ended up in a pit of mostly water that was just higher than the door sills. Some of the gritty water must have made it's way into the intake and started chewing things up, because a few months later the engine seized up while I was towing a boat to the lake.
