Super annoying 30-sec ad at first, but the carnage and stupidity in the video is awe-inspiring.

I backed off the throttle a smidge (technical term), and it straightened right out, but it was a bit unsettling. For some reason, I didn't see the need to panic, or put the truck in 4 wheel drive, just slowed down until I was off the skating rink...

hmmmmm, your t-case is a $3500 option for a reason, had you been in 4wd, it would not have felt "unsettling" just sayin

Was idling past a wreck in my Tahoe on I-80 a few years ago in 4-wheel drive and started to lose it. It was icy as hell and yet another tractor trailer rig had jackknifed, burst the saddle-bag tank on one side, left the highway and rolled. My Tahoe started to rotate all on its own, without any steering or throttle changes. That was quite the unusual feeling. If you think ice is slick, try covering it in diesel fuel. Was able to steering correct out of it, but it was still "unsettling". Shhhtuff happens.

$3500 option on a $1500 truck...[ROFL2]. Maybe you're referring to the cost to fill it up every 100 miles in 4WD? [LOL]

Seriously, that was the only kind of sketchy part of my drive, and it was entirely manageable by knowing how to drive, which is a skill that many either failed to learn, or forgot at Starbucks when they were picking up their mochafrappelattecino while texting...
