Absolutely... the more expensive vehicles seem to have better systems...
rather than just being able to stick an "ABS" label on the trunk lid... my
Continental seems to be a great system, and has stopped my vehicle very well
in wet weather and on gravel, sand, etc.

Leaching a system is fine, but its better to take it from a good car <G>.

Also, if you ever rent a car again and dislike the ABS... just yank the 30A
fuse... then you'll have all the control back.  I do that all the time if I
rent things like Taurus's and other small car-toys.
