Prepared for the worst . . .
I rolled the window down and he said "Ya know you were goin' a bit over the speed limit"
I said "Yes I was, and I'm NOT even gonna try your patience with an excuse"
He said " Please step out of the car" as I was getting out, he said "Open the hood" and I did.
He looked at the engine and said " So, This is one of those Mercedes that eats Vettes for breakfast?"
I said "That what they say"
He reached in his pocket, pulled out a card and said "If you know of a good one for sale, call me"
He said " Keep it under 100"
I said " YES SIR . . . THANK YOU SIR"

Great story!
By the way, what kind of car do you own?
And Dr.Diesel,
I'm out here in Issaquah, I didn't realize there was another member in the area. What shop do you work at? I've been looking for a good place to take my car for some servicing and a few problem checks.
