A close shave....
A few days ago, on an unnamed highway in an unnamed country, I was driving along in my Box S. Sunny day, top down and two miles of visible limited access highway ahead with nary a car on it. I thought why not?
Got up to a speed that started with a 1 and ended with both hands on the wheel and a grin on my face. Figured that was enough, and decided to give the brakes a good workout to get down to relatively legal speeds in a hurry.
10 seconds later, constabulary hiding in the trees in the median. Looked down, and I was going less than 10% over the legal limit.
Sometimes the gods do smile on one...
