Years ago I was cruising (tee hee get it) along on rt 80 in a pickup, the roads were just a little wet. After climbing a hill, I'm certain the cruise had the pedal on the floor of that anemic pig. The shade of an overpass was enough to turn the damp road into black ice, the truck turned sideways and my razor sharp reflexes brought it back into shape (ok maybe pure luck) , after my heart returned to normal I vowed to NEVER use the cruise on anything but dry roads. I beat that lesson into my kids head too!!
