Joe: Do you happen to know how I can tell if my car has antilock brakes? I just bought a 1991 Mazda Miata that was a repo being sold by the finance companies retail outlet (not a Mazda dealer), and they have no idea if the car has antilock brakes, and neither do I. Will a car with antilock breaks NEVER skid? I tried slamming on the brakes while traveling on a wet road at about 30MPH, and was able to get the car to skid, although I think all 4 wheels were locked. Does this mean that the car doesn't have antilock brakes? -Mike Schiller In sunny Fort Lauderdale
