That's great, Bill. Thanks.
I thought I was a hotshot a few years ago while driving to work one
rainy morning. I was on a sweeping double lane turn going about 40mph
in my 79 Targa and started to down ****ft. Big mistake. I noticed the
car drifting to point itself in the wrong direction while I yelled
"NO!!!" in what felt like slow motion. I was very fortunate not to hit
anyone, but the embarrassment was terrible.
I had learned a valuable lesson about the 911.
