I was driving up the highway, heavy snow (bad idea in the first place), about 30mph in a 50pmh zone, two snow tires, and a 100 lb bag of animal feed in the back. Without warning, not even a touch of the throttle, the car turns sideways, into the opposite lane, where a dumptruck was coming around 30ish. Luckily, his truck was full and he stopped just in time. I used to take the Volvo out in snowy weather to let my SPG sit, but now I just don't drive in it at all! Unless it's my Dad's big work truck ( :
