My generalizations:

In warm weather seeing BMWs (the ultimate driving machines) that've skidded off into the medians.
In snow it always seemed s to be Jeeps.

An aside: I always hated the pre-ABS era expression, "pump the brakes." It's likely countless drivers have totally lost control because of the inference one should be wildly stabbing the brake pedal, whereas it really was about finer [i]modulation[/i], which is more akin to the ABS effect.
