There's nothing like that feeling when you know you're in an uncontrollable skid. I remember taking a curve once in my C900 on a bright sunny day. I wasn't really going all that fast, but someone was power washing the side of his buiding and was sending soapy water right across the apex of the curve. The only thing that kept me from heading reverse into oncoming traffic was a 4 foot curbless median that had become soft from the water. I was gun-shy about taking curves for a year after that.
Thinking back on it, it was probably part my fault. When I saw the water, I instinctively let off the throttle which lightened up the back end.
