It wasn't in the 944 but I was driving through D.C. When all of a sudden the rear end of the Jimmy swung out on me, did a 720 and kept going like nothing happened even though I was inches from the Dodge Neon next to me and the big blue bus that was barreling down on me 100 ft back, I don't even think he touched the brakes. Anyway, that's what I get for not putting the 4WD on. I survived with my passengers a little shook but all is well. Those GMC gods must be looking out for me.

If the 4wd was on, the rear wheels never would have spun.

Had a similar experience with my sister in her Dodge Raider. Had pretty bald tires in it, in the rain trying to merge from the right and get into the left as quickly as possible for a left turn. We spun out across all 4 lanes of traffic, and at one point in the spin we were compeltley facing a Miata. The drivers look was sorta puzzled, like "what the hell is happening". Anyway we managed to slide across all 4 lanes of traffic doing a 360 and hit the guardrail / median. Amazingly a small dent on her rear bumper, that was it. I didnt even move from my seat or flinch or anything, i was just like "whoooooaaaa". Weird experience.

Avatar is some crazy looking 951.

I didn't hit anything, amazingly. But the guy in the Neon sure looked scared, he had this really odd look on his face like he was really looking death in the face. And it could have even that bad in his point of view, he was on the right, next to me.
