Easy to see some crappy driving conditions. Glad all is good. Nice landing!
How far out were you from where you found haven.?
'good shot' man, happened real quick I'll guess - hard to hold on to?

Don't bother looking, they're almost impossible to find. Sol and I are the only two people I can think of who've owned them.
I believe the Axis Decade is a replica of them, but I don't recommend replicas.

Responding for Sol as someone else who owned a set of those wheels.

So, immediately after it starts raining, you can easily spin out if you haven't slowed down from the normal high speeds.
Once it rains a while and some of the buildup gets washed away, you can speed up a little bit, and drive like most other locales in a rainstorm.
Having lived in Chicago and learning to drive in Chicago styled seasons... I knew enough to slow down for a bit when it starts raining, when I lived in San Diego for a few years. Its amazing how many cars end up in a ditch ass-backward on a light drizzle... accident rates skyrocket during any rain. High end BMWs with "superior" traction systems are useless... without some common sense.

California, due to its weather pattern... mostly sunny, rarely rainy. Causes oils and rubber residue to build up on the road surface.

Every year, on our first snowfall of the season, people drive like the months before. The concept of changed conditions goes right over their head. There are literally hundreds of wrecks on the first day. They are like, “What is this? Why is my car spinning out of control? Why don’t my brakes work anymore? What happened to my AWD? What is this white stuff on the road and why is my car acting differently? Why does this happen to me every year about this time?”
It’s like it is a completely new paradigm to them, something they’ve never experienced before.
Idiots.
