Interesting story. The Finest of Charles City must have been in a good mood!
One of my minor *unintentional* winter-in-a-sports-car episodes was this.
Driving my Fiat 124 Spider on a cold, damp but non-snowy night I coasted
sedately to a stop at a stoplight. Calmly the car's speed hit zero, and within
milliseconds calmly the car began sliding directly sideways down the crown of
the road. No warning, no control, no nuthin' but sideways movement until both
right wheels bumped lightly against the curb. If I'd wanted to be parking
there it would have been worth bragging about. Instead I was just grateful the
only thing to hit was the curb. I drove away very gingerly.
