On the way out of Marin heading to the Golden Gate Bridge there's a looong grade on 101. I was going 65 per usual at the bottom of the hill and and in right lane. There are 3-4 lanes going toward the bridge and there was no traffic today. This crazy newish SL decided to sit on my tail all the way up the grade. As usual, I was going 45 with the pedal to the metal by the top, and this silly SL just stayed on my bumper. Plenty of opportunity to pass, yet she just sat there. WTF? I almost wish the car were out of tune so I could have thoroughly sooted her. ;-) Some people are just stupid.
Maybe she fancied an older model !!!
