We all know that DRC stands for Dynamic Ride Control, but thus far, the only thing dynamic about it has been it's ability to empty peoples wallets and cause a great deal of inconvenience and emotional distress. So I thought I'd start a thread for all those infuriated people that have had DRC problems and need some kind of outlet to relieve the pain (or re-live the pain in some people's cases!).
I'll start with a basic one and try to get a bit more creative later on.
DRC = Dreadful ride control

Given that mine has recently failed again, and that it is most noisy in the morning when the car is cold, I renamed it

Sorry, pet hate of mine, but DRC isn't an acronym.

Actually, you're right. It is an abbreviation as DRC doesn't form a pronouncable word as such. I honestly just thought it was the term to describe an abbreviation consisting of the first letters of each word, but I was wrong. Those letters must make another word sort of. Hey, I've learnt something today! (Is that learnt or learned?!

To be fair, if you do try to pronounce DRC as a word, it sounds a lot like the sound it makes when it's failed..
