Subject:      An interesting thing happened to me on the way to the cleaners...

Howdy,

Last night after work I had to go by the cleaners and pick some stuff up, and I parked next to this really nice 280SL.

When I came back out, I drooled over it a bit, and the owner came up and introduced himself, and we talked for a couple of minutes about German cars, n stuff. This car was a '71 that be bought in '70, and it was immacculate.

Well, it turns out that we was stranded there 'cause his shift linkage broke, so I offered him a ride home. After the tow truck scooped his car up (and gosh, they're _fast!_) I took him home. In da bus, of course!

As we parted, while thanking me profusely, he gave me his card. His name is James Long - California_Superior_Court_Judge_ James Long! Waddaya wanna bet my next ticket is "on the house?" :)
