Mine happened... about a year and a half ago while driving in on my first day of a new job.
I decided to take my fun car as a way to sort of enjoy the drive and the new day that lay before me, so i took my 67 Cougar instead of the 97 Tacoma. Bad idea. I'm going fine down the freeway, not taking it too fast, probably make it about 85% of the freeway trip when out of nowhere I hear this loud kind of popping sound, and all of a sudden, my windshield is covered with some liquid, and i lose control of the car.
Turns out my radiator decided to blow for whatever reason on this trip to work, I guess it was just old enough to go. So there I am with a blind view and not very much control of the car, so I hit the wipers to clear the windshield, and lo and behold I'm facing the freeway traffic head-on. Luckily I'm still rolling along with momentum, so I swing the wheel to the left, and kind of coast to a stop with the car's ass up against the hill next to the freeway.
Had to sit there gripping the steering wheel for a couple minutes before someone came to ask if I was okay, and to tell me I should probably park the car instead of letting its nose sit in traffic.
Phew.
