It was pouring down rain, pouring. Holty was in passenger seat. Kooner (XLRNSS) was behind me and wkdivr (weekend driver LOL) was behind Holty. I am cruising at about 70MPH on the highway with the cruise control on. My tires are f-ing bald. BALD. It is pouring down rain. We hit an overpass bridge and as we cross it the truck slowly starts to go side ways. Me and Kooner are headed toward a guard rail. Long story short, back and forth, back and forth I saved it. I nearly **** my pants though. I missed that dead end guard rail by a mere f-ing 20'. It would have killed kooner instantly. It was super long 5 seconds. Felt like minutes. Holty grabbed the oh **** bar and started chanting, "oh no not again!". he crashed his truck if you remember in the snow real bad. Skilled driving? maybe. scared? hell yess. My heart rate was at least 200 after we got straight and slowed down. I was for sure I was gonna kill kooner, F me and wkdivr up...for sure. I had to tap the brake to get the cruise off. Just imagine, that cruise kept trying to get our speed back to 70mph while we were sideways. It was pretty damn hairy. Once we got straight, I laughed all the way to Summit.
If I get my plugs firing and can find a few extra bucks I may come up. No promises.

Have had some similar experiences up here with what I thought was dry pavement and ended up being glare ice.....
