Did I ever tell you about the time I (inadvertently) drifted my DHL van around the IGT shipping/receiving road, to avoid some cell-phone moron with his car parked on the curve, in the ice, in a truck lane? When the tail end of the van went by him, I was 100% positive that I had at least clipped his mirror with my rear doors.
When I got everything stopped, and went back to tell him that the next vehicle would probably weigh 20 times what I did, I found that somehow I had missed him completely and that for once my 3D vehicle awareness was wrong. THAT was the most slippery experience I probably ever had, I don't know what it is about that IGT surface, but it sure can be scary.
