I dont like ABS & if you ask me its just another gimick to sell more cars (appliances). If you pump the brakes you can stop the car better then the ABS can. I had a 71 mercury with manual drum brakes (all 4 tires) you know you have a terrible stopping distance so you work around it.

I have had many instances were the ABS kicked in my work truck and if hadn't pumped the brakes to decrease the stoping distance I would have hit the car in front of me. (I know ABS is designed to allow you to drive around the problem but try that on the cross bronx expressway in the rain in rush hour while slaming on the brakes.)
