LOL to your purple calipers!

What you describe in how the brakes work brought back a long forgotten memory.

If you lock the front wheels in a panic, and turn the wheels to the left, the car will pull to the right. Also works the other way. I tried this in my 1964 VW and blew the mind of my doubting passenger. And it also explains a lot of accidents where people try to avoid hitting something to no avail.

This is why I love ABS.
