    Woah there cowboy. You need to tell us what car you drive, the trim level, and the year before we can even try to help you.

    But.

    I'll be a nice guy and take a stab in the dark. You have a 2004-2008 base model and traction control is permanently on - you're poking at a placeholder for the button, not a button. Stop worrying about it.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    Its a 2001 GTP 40th edition, it hasen't worked since i purchased the car, just recently had the wheel hub and the abs fixed because their was a light on, now however i miss spinning the tires every now and again, and though there are no more lights on the dash, the traction control button does nothing

    So what do you get when you spin the tires? Do you get a low trac light, or do they just spin? Feel any hesitation when they try to spin?

    So... you're complaining that you can't break your transmission? You know... that part that costs like $1500 to rebuild?
