The "Grin"

This is no exaggeration, but practically every time I see someone driving an SL they seem to have this grin on their faces as if laughing internally at some private joke. Sometimes I catch myself doing the same, especially after realizing that the people whom I've just passed on the freeway are not driving like zombies, but I'm doing 90 mph.

.....and the cop that just got ya on radar doing 90 in a 65 probably utilizes a similar grin as he pulls out after ya.

No speeding tickets since 1995. I just keep updating my radar detectors every couple of years.

The grin is why I bought it in the first place, and continue to offer it sacrifices of Mastercard in the second...
