Scary ride in Indy tonight

I was driving home from a wedding tonight in Indianapolis when I heard a strange noise coming from the rear of my 4runner and I was thinking that almost sounds like my tire is spinning but I was going about 30 mph. About that time my sister calls and as I press the button on the steering wheel to answer, my beautiful new 2021 4Runner Venture turns sideways like Im on wet glass and drifts down the road not slowing at all. I'm saying OH NO, OH NO...my sister says sounds like you just found out there's black ice on the road. I wasn't too far from home maybe 2 miles, I made it but damn it was scary.

Yeah, scary indeed. I hope you and your new 4R are ok!

A long time ago, not in my 4R, I was going about 10mph because I knew the roads were bad. I approached a four-way stop and hit the brakes. The car slid on ice for about 50 feet right through the intersection. Thankfully, the other cars just sat there and watched me slide. It could have ended very badly, from a car damage standpoint. I was only about one mile from home when it happened.

My local (Chicago) weather forecast says freezing rain starting any minute now (9pm) for about three hours. I’m glad I don’t have to drive anywhere!

All's well that ends well. Black ice or ice in general sucks.
