My father grew up and learned to drive in CO in about 1924.  He used to
practice donuts on dirt roads I think.  Anyway, he was driving my
mother's friend to the train station (in the days when people didn't
fly), and hit a patch of ice and the car spun.  He did a complete 360
without hitting anything, and didn't even comment on it - just kept on
talking without even a pause.  She was quite upset with him.
