not to be vindictive, or anything, but my mom had to make an emergency
stop, no time for threshold braking or anyhing, just slammed on the
brakes, and the van skidded to a stop, but it skidded in a straight line
and we were stopped well before some other cars that were beside us that
had abs.


so i definately believe the van is in that league.
