Wow, what a great thread, very interesting.

Not counting the times when I first got each car and deliberately
triggered it so I knew what it felt like - if you don't, it can come as
a big surprise just at a time when you don't need more distractions !

The ABS in my truck sounds like you've driven over
a "rumble strip" in the road.

Exactly - if you've never heard/experienced it is very disconcerting to
hear it for the first time and downright scary in an emergency situation.

My truck also doesn't
have traction control, but a car my wife had once
did. That's where my opinion of it comes from.

Never had traction control afaik, just have a HOLD setting on the Scooby
for traction on ice/snow, but that's different I think.
