Was putting along at 45 in a 50 or so, had felt the tires spin earlier but it didn't look slippery at all. I, being an idiot and tired after working 10 hours, gave it a little gas to see if it was something weird with the truck, and the truck snaps left, and I'm sliding sideways towards the blunt end of the guardrail. I stopped about 3 feet from the damn thing. Shit.

NOTE THE FLIPPING HUGE ROCKS.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And a better driver

Slippery roads and rangers don't always get along so well. My younger brother totaled his ranger last winter driving back to school from skiing. Amazingly, both he and his now-girlfriend came out of it without a scratch. As far as I remember, the truck got off the edge, caught and dug, then ended up flipping/pivoting around the nose. Think a barrel roll, but at an angle (back rack never hit the ground, but the cinderblock weights left the bed)

he very nearly met some big rocks along the way too

Gotta be some sort of magnetism with the rocks, methinks.

By the time I stopped I was pretty much parallel to the road, looking down my hood at the guardrail, and out my window at what I thought was an uprooted tree. NOPE.
