Other than that it doesnt seem to have any rhyme or reason, once while driving "2 months pass" then again randomly as im starting my car in the morning for a trip to the store.

another nonsense inexplicable Z34 issue?

I would not be happy with that answer, that sounds pretty dangerous and a great way to lock your wheels up on snow or ice.

Happened to me once. It was not a cold day when it happened. I did a ctrl-alt-delete and all was well. Just turned it off and turned it back on. Hasn't happened since. I was driving moderately aggressive but the oil temp was not above 210-215 so it was not that aggressive. I have no idea why it happened but I have driven many different conditions, colder, hotter, wetter at many levels of aggressivness, from not to highly. So, knock on wood, hopefully that problem will not rear it's ugly head again.

I like the doughnut dizzy spell diagnosis.
