Well, I saw my life flash before my eyes today. Driving to school to take a money and banking miderm, my S decides to fishtail on the highway. I hit the curb and managed to gain control of the car. Anyway, got to school, no damage whatsover to the car. Took the test and braved inclement weather with hazards on and got home safe.
On a side note, if you think I'm crazy, I saw 2 M5s and and a spa yellow pearl with oem aero accesories and 18 inch gunmetal rims doing the same dance. Thanks.

I'm glad you made it ok. Do you have snow tires?
I've got Kuhmo 712's, definitely not snow tires. They seem ok in the snow, but with a little ice anything over 40mph seems to be trouble. The other day I set off as it started to snow. After 15 minutes, the snow started sticking to the road and forming ice. The back end started quivering back and forth about 1-2 inches until I got the speed below 40. I passed a couple of SUV's that slid off the road and flipped that day.

From all the horror stories that have been posted on and around these boards, I'd say you're pretty damned lucky

I saw an M coupe cruising in the snow today as it was coming down, talk about scary! The guy was getting on it too I could hear him spinning the tires and he was going about 20 m.p.h. on a flat piece of road.
