Tonight I was driving home from 1.25 hours away where my DS's hockey game was (hubby has to plow for the county and knows he'll be called out somewhere between 2 and 4 am and expects about a 12 hour day so I was giving him a break and besides it's my truck and I love driving 
) and was only going 60 km (not sure in MPH) but the speed limit is 80km + and even in 4 wheel drive all of a sudden (and I DO mean ALL of a sudden!) I'm losing control!!!! I fishtailed across the two lane highway, heading towards the oncoming traffic's ditch, swung around and starting head directly into our ditch and then by the grace of God swung back again (think a backwards 's') into the oncoming lane and their ditch and finally got full control just in time to miss some oncoming cars a couple hundred feet away. JUST skimmed the ditch on the left, JUST missed the huge road sign on the right, swung back to the left and then finally corrected as the oncoming cars came around the bend.........all my hubby said in the passenger seat was get your foot off the break (at which point I hollered MY FOOT'S NOT ON ANYTHING!!!) and steer into it, steer into it!.....almost got it, holy s#$&!! and omg! you did it WOOHOO, WOOHOO!! and then turned to my DD and DS in the back seat and said 'anyone else wet themselves?' :yuck:
I of course am shaking like crazy and he turns to me and said that was great you did awesome!! Oh my, no thanks! No desire to repeat that anytime soon! My 10yo DS was laughing like crazy afterwards and grinned the rest of the ride home which ended up a 2 hour ride and my 13 DD just sat pale and quiet and waited nervously to finally pull in the driveway. Oh what a night!
