I experienced the tail wagging problem on my 2005 LGT wagon a couple weeks ago. The wagon has Michelin Pilot Sport tires and was lightly loaded with one passenger, 2 snowboard and ski jackets. The highway has been plowed and was completely dry. The temperature was around 20deg. Every car/truck was going at the speed limit of 55mph.
As I was approaching an overpass, I noticed a patch of ice spanning the width of the road directly under a bridge. The road section was perfectly straight, so I reduced the throttle slightly to let the car ride over the ice. The car was composed as the front wheels moved onto the ice. When all four wheels were on the ice patch, the rear started swinging in a left and right motion with the pivot point at the engine compartment. When the car moved back to dry pavement, it regained composure immediately.
At no point did it felt like the tail end was going to spin around but it was disconcerting.

SLO (San Luis Obispo) might be a nice place to meet up. It's 200 miles north of LA and 230 miles south of SF

a silver legacy wagon heading down montague and then made a left turn
It is a GT? I work around that area.

Saw a Silver Legacy GT going south at the intersection of 25th and Pennsylvania Ave in San Francisco today around 7:15pm. I nodded in his direction and got a wave back

This looks like a chassis ground connection. If your audio is working fine, don't worry about it.
I've just received my Jazzy mod yesterday. Will be hacking and installing a Garmin GPS system + MP3 player into the cubby hole today
