Penni,
If the roads were very icy, why did you have to brake so hard? Did the Nova pull out in front of you or were you following/catching up with it?
BTW: Yes, the subaru abs "Thunks" as it works, maybe embarrasing the driver a little, but saving the day anyway. No, ABS doesn't have to thunk that much, for example ABS on a ford mondeo is extremely fast acting and quiet in operation. If it really bothers you that much, you could mail me off-line and I will arrange for you to swap cars with my girlfriend (don't worry, it is a zetec!).

What happened was: - I wasn't driving too fast nor was the car in front of me (A Nova) - but the car in front of the Nova suddenly decides, we're going right (and we're going to do it NOW!) SO the Pratt - indicates, stops and turns -
The girl in Nova in front of me has literally 30 seconds to stop and she did nearly hit the guy - she did skid,
The Nova's brake lights were not working - and I realise - oh sh************t and hit the brakes - that's what happened, and I stopped in a straight line, on the nose...!
