Car Brakes

I don't know who thought of the ABS braking system for cars but I'm thinking of buying an older car that didn't have it. I hate every time I go to stop on ice before I can pump the brake the car is doing it and I'm sliding down the road. I think the young drivers need something to do their thinking for them but us old horses learned how to drive all by ourself and what to do in an emergency. Kind of makes you want to move out in the middle of nowhere and live like a hermit. It couldn't hurt.
