I was driving my little BMW convertible on a deserted stretch of oceanfront. There were few cars on the road and no civilization for as far as the eye could see. A wild thought grabbed me to slip down a dirt road and impulsively I took the next road I saw. After I had left the main road and my car was out of sight from anyone driving the main road, I stopped...
