I pulled out of a michigan U-turn/turnaround tonight and went perfectly sideways across all three lanes to the turn lane I was intending to drive to with rear wheels a spinnin'. After a couple back and forth swerves/fishtailings I was going straight again. Wow.

I am so used to correcting the swerving's of the o'l 126 that I did it without even thinking....

It must have looked mighty strange to the oncoming traffic!

Hoping never to have to do THAT again. Especially with oncoming 40mph traffic. Stupid snow.

Whats needed are small rocket boosters on the back/sides/front of the car, so when a navigation computer detects slipping/sliding it fires the appropriate engines to correct/cancel out the momentum. "I cant stop!"...front engine fires....car comes to normal, assisted stop.

That would be pretty sweet......
