Temp. Disabling ABS.

[Guest]

Pumping the brakes on a car equipped with ABS doesn't "turn off" the ABS. (not sure what your trying to say) I think were on the same page here, its just difficult to phrase correctly.
PAPA SOLARA: I appreciate your concern. Have you ever driven a car without ABS? Did I ever say I would do this on a "everyday basis". Do you think I'm some arsehole kid out there doing doughnuts in parking lots all day? I do, but not in my solara. You should try it. Also try taking EVOC training classes and mastering FWD and RWD platforms. Also have a dose 4x4 EVOC and off road emergency recovery training. Where did I say that my tires "burn" through the snow into the pavement below??? I love it when my tires BURN through stuff, its cool. (sarcasm.) Did I not state that in my previous posts that for the inexperinced driver, ( like your daughter when she leaves my house after having her cherry popped both in the front and back door) an option such as an ABS braking sytem would be better for her in an emergency control situation, so she could keep her mind on her aching holes, rather than concentrating on road and her braking technique. So next time when replying and throwing in your two cents, try to stick to the flanking topic and not reply with some bulshite you pulled out of your allstate insurance policy pamphlet. Thank you very much, and enjoy your increased following distances. Just like I do.

Chill out a little. Nobody's ripping you here. Obviously, nobody else has felt the need to disengage the ABS on their cars. If you figure out how to do it, and can test your idea, I, for one, would be interested to know if it really works. I've never driven my Solara in the snow, so I've never had the chance to see if just pumping the brakes in that situation would cause ABS to kick in. Over the last couple of years, I haven't seen anyone else post about that being a problem. If you're on to something, let us know how it works. Try to keep the knee jerk editorializing out of it, though.

hey Guest... you seem to have some knowledge about driving in the snow and whatnot. perhaps you should register on here.

dear Mr. Guest.
your flames and unprovoked sarcasm are not appreciated nor welcome on this board.
if you'd like to continue posting like that, i suggest you go elsewhere. otherwise, keep it cool and civil. and why not register?!
consider this a warning.

thanks

Yeah, i would definatly register if it was worth my time. The only responses I received to a simple technical question was opinion and suggestions of driving safer. WTF, there is just not enough DIY knowledge on this board for me. No flames to the moderators, or anyone who replied with intelligence, just those who reply with no idea at all of what they are talking about.

how selfish... you come to get something from the community, you got a few opinions, heck even a few questions. there is def something here you know about that we all have no idea about. this community is here to help answer questions. if we know the answers, we try to give our advice. perhaps you should give some of yours.

hmm... comming from way left field here, what were to happen if you do not have abs, driving in snow, you want to stop.

would going into reverse and jamming the gas be any good?

assuming that the car is FF, the wheels are locked up, the car is sliding forward.
put the car in reverse, slightly start revving up all while keeping your left foot on the brake. release the brake little by little. a lot of work, but would it do any good?

I'm thinking the best thing that could possibly happen is that you would completely loose control of your steering, but feel free to try it and let me know (I don't live near snow)

^LoL you think you dont have snow... look at where i live.
