RE: antilock preference on or off

["Peter Berrevoets" <peterb@mysysltd.com>]

Generally leave it on cuz I don't like the light - when I'm pushin it I'll
turn it off - rain, snow or sun.  Actually prefer it off in the snow. ABS
sucks (IMO) if you can "Threshold brake" - I want total control over the car
at all times - I don't want it telling me when it will stop.  I don't have a
hard time out stopping the ABS in any road condition except full braking
collision avoidance - here the ABS is at it's best.

Do the newer Audi's still have the antilock brake on/off switch on the
dash?  I don't think I have seen any other vehicles with such a switch.
I'd like to get some opinions from others.  I generally like to turn my
ABS off as I like the "feel" better.  I understand the benefit of having
ABS in an emergency situation but for hard fun driving I always turn it
off.  Anybody out there care to share their opinions/experiences?
