Funny Sighting!

For those in South Florida:

I was driving home on the A1A last night, and came to the West Atlantic Avenue (Delray Beach) / A1A intersection and noticed a nice E55 //AMG at the light.

As I drove by I noted the driver was a retired woman, in the 65 - 70 age group! GO grandma!!!

The week after I got my CLK55, I met some friends at a local family diner type place in Rancho Bernardo. Left to find a VERY confused 70-something gal (absolute sweetheart, with a genuine kick in her) trying to figure out way "her" car wasn't unlocking when she hit the button on the key.

She was standing next to my car. Her silver 2001 CLK55 was 'round the other side of the building....... :p
