excellent! Gendarmes always add a certain flavor to a broken car story that can't be duplicated by another character. Reminds me of one that I really treasure, an acting job of Academy proportions. I'm on that freeway that goes from Pasadena up northwest through to the I-5...the 210 I think it is...I'm in the fast lane driving my Datsun 240 at about 80, nobody else on the road to speak of, it's about 3 p.m. I catch the mountie in the rear view but he has already gotten up to within about 1/4 of a mile behind and he has blood in his eyes. Rats! Speeding tickets are Not a Good Thing. I think fast. (like the time I puked underwater with scuba gear on) and decide to continue at the same speed and act dumb! He pulls up on the right, I wait... I wait... then I casually look over. He gives me the major cop stink-eye, I look momentarily "confused", then look at my speedo, then a big wide eyed "Oops" look, look over at him, "sheepish grin", "wave of thanks", slow down. It worked! He nodded his head like "What a putz" and drove off. Jack Nicholson would have been proud.
