Back when I was 10 years old or so we were coming down off the continental divide on I-90 heading towards Bozeman, MT and there was a shaded area where ice hadn't melted, and we did a few large fishtails and eventually a 360 on the interstate. Miraculously we stayed in the middle of the road (large barrier in center and guardrail + cliff on outside). We started the whole thing about 60mph, and ended up around 70mph since it was a bit steep.

Last summer when it was lightly raining I was on a tighter than normal cloverleaf and the back end just gave up all at once and did an almost instant 180, I didn't even have time to react, it was weird. So I'm in the center of the onramp, facing backwards at a complete stop gaining my composure, and a PT cruiser comes up in front of me while I'm trying to do a 7 point turn to get the car back normal. Freaked me out.
