I had a 1997 Milano Red EX coupe before I bought my 1998 Milano Red EX coupe. Both were manuals. The only differencees between the two was the '97 came with the stock CD slave while the '98 did not, the '98 has the map lights (they didnt' come pre-'98), and the '97 had mud guards. Three days after my birthday a couple years back though I got new tires put on the rear of my car and on the drive home, less than three miles down the road, the passenger rear tire blew out (sidewall) and sent my car out of control into the concrete base of a lightpole. My car was totalled (I have pics & more I need to get developed if I find them) and I recieved a fractured rib and a careless driving charge. The officer told me I "must have been going 90mph" down the straight away even though I'm very sure my car never could have gotten to that speed in that little space. He also told me my rear brakes locked up first and that I was going 30mph when I hit the post, which is good because "people start dying at 31mph". 
A couple months later I bought my '98 coupe. It was love at first sight. A few months later I found this site. My first post was about my totalled Civic.
But yeah.. the ABS. I don't need it.
No one really needs it. It ends up just being one other thing that people think makes them safer... so they drive less safe.

ABS you would know because you feel it when you slam the breaks on.
It was an option.$lick Rick said:

I happen to like ABS. You can late brake the hell outta' it and throw it into a corner with abandon where non-ABS cars fear to tread.
I got run off the road by a Chevy Colorado 4 door a week or so ago. (brand new truck too...should have let her hit me.
) I got two tires in the gravel, braking HARD and it went straight as an arrow. Without ABS the two right tires on coarse grooved pavement would have had more braking force and pulled me right into that stupid twat. 'Effin should have let her hit me though....just a little bit on the fender that that fat kid dented with his ass.
so you can steer.Team2000 said:
And believe me. We get Ice. not packed snow. Ice. Warm moist Gulf of Mexico air is aloft over a cold front straight outta' Manitoba, it rains and freezes within seconds of hitting the ground. Soon you got 6-8 inches of solid ice on everything Last time it was so thick that you could barely see where the curbs were.
ABS cycles each wheel independantly of each other also so if one two or three wheels lose traction you can still brake with the remaining wheel.
