well, after having an ABS car, I'd almost rather not. It sent me through an intersection the first time I had it kick on. on my old car I had none I could put enough pressure for some tire slip but still stop, I hate ABS...

so your saying you can cycle the brakes more than 15 times a second like the standard abs module?


Oh and dude... get the yukon, like dave said, you can pile the ass higher in it!

Id wouldnt hesitate, Yukon!!!
100k and that things just breakin in. Free gas and maintance is icing on the cake.

I can't cycle 15 times a second, but I hate ABS none the less. >_<

its cool if you lock up your brakes on pavement and can turn. however, in snow, ice. F*!# I can't stand it. I almost died, lol.

the bald tires didnt help, even with new tires I still hate it.

Glad I'm not the only one who hates the foot humping you get from ABS systems One of the reason I bought the Cherokee I have is that the truck wasn't equipped with ABS ($500 option). Dad is getting to be of the opinion that ABS makes for more dangerous drivers since now you don't have to pay as much attention to what's going on around the vehicle.

wow.... Just wow...... Joe ive never disagreed with you so much. How does abs make people not pay attention to the road?!!? people are just as bad of drivers as they ever were.

A.b.s. saves lives... Ever had to steer during a panic braking?!?! I have. without it i would have not bveen able to steer and slow down as some turned left right infront of me! Thanks a.b.s.

Ever seen airbags save a life??? I have....

Maybe you should take the seat belts out of your car too, i mean those were scoffed at too untill the ignorant realized how much they helped...

Meh, for my sports cars I don't want ABS, Airbags, or any other weight increasing items. My GTA doesn't have ABS, TCS, Stability control, or anything else. Course it came in a time before all those were standards on cars. Wasn't even an option on my car at the time in 89'.

For a modern daily driver, if I were buying new it would most likely have abs, tcs, and airbags I wouldn't turn it down depending on the price of the option. However I'm not so attached to them that its a must have feature for me. In a used car I really wouldn't care if they had them one way or another. I've been without ABS for my entire driving life so I don't really care about it. Good tires can make all the difference.

Well Rocco, if your car modulates the brakes for you, has big pillows that cushion you in impacts, and sensors that tell you when your tires are low, activates brakes and cuts throttle when the drive wheels spin, ect, that can give a false sense of security, then minds can wander off to other things that safely driving to your destination..........................

As far as panic braking, I give my self so much space in traffic and watch the car ahead if the car in front of me for brakelights so that's rarely a problem for me.

I'll say Airbags are good. like I said ABS is good in dry pavement. on Snow or ice. you jsut go straight, and hit s#$t I've honestly experienced better stopping from non-abs cars in bad weather.

My standings.

Seatbelts-Good
Airbags-Good
Ford traction control (as far as sideways sliding) good
Scion traction control (as far as sliding) horrible
ABS-iffy.

Joe... Somtimes giving the guy in front of you room isnt always a prevention of an accident. I was speaking of when someone made a left in front of me while i was traveling at 50 mph (corner of randall and main st) i was able to mash the brakes AND steer around the guy. Id like to see you do that without a.b.s... Then id like to see you after the impact withOUT an airbag.
But since you seem to be able to tell the future, you dont need saftey devices or " saftey pillows" in your car/suv.

Thirdgen-
i agree i dont want traction/yaw control in a sports car. But when i had a cobra i was glad to have my a.b.s. and airbags for those ohhh sh!t moments.

ENOUGH technology arguing.....

bag the blue one, it's ugly.

Take the truck.

somehow I doubt even though youre getting "expenses" paid. they arent going to be dishing out 100 bucks to fill up your gas-tank all the time...lol...getting a whopping 12 mpg.

Also, its going to be hard for you to get a job, with or without a degree, without experience. you should get a part time job in your field.

J-dub.... Have you seen this dude's rides/house? They're loaded lol.

Yes, they will. When I'm in college all they want me to focus on is studying. My field will be dentistry. I am doing a summer internship with my dentist in a few years. My parents love education, my mom got an MBA from michigan and my dad a degree from SIU.
By them paying for all expenses and what not, I can be free to study and learn, and god forbid, have a good time in BOULDER, snowboarding and skiiing every weekend
