You can thank me because I had all your bad luck today. Was taking my 2010 Audi TT roadster to a shop for a PPI (I flip cars for a hobby). Spent 2 days cleaning it up for the potential new owner. Of course it's sprinkling / showering when I need to go. Wait as long as I can (clear skies on the horizon) but can't wait any longer. Streets were sloppy and along the way someone shot a stone and chipped the ws. The TT passes the inspection so we go over to my glass man. He fixes the chip - $20. Twenty min after the new owner is heading for KC, she calls and says the ws is cracking up. I assure her I'll take care of it and send an email to verify.

There goes my profit. So I'm the Ying to your Yang. It all balances out.

Slow down. I'm generally a pretty lucky guy so don't count on me to save you next time you're driving 30 over.

Nice. In 45 years of driving I have had more good experiences when stopped than bad.

Thanks. It's the right thing to do and I'm not really concerned about the lost profit. I'll get satisfaction from knowing my customer is happy.

Now everyone slow down - there will be lots of Johnny Law's out there this weekend. And drunk drivers. Be safe.
