You could do a bumper sticker that says: Warning, this vehicle stops faster than yours

I was 'truckin' along' as they say when a cop rolled up right behind me. As a matter of policy, when they position themselves there, I never look at the speedometer. ("My attention was outside the windshield, officer. Sorry. Let's go with your figure")
When he turned on his lights, I gave one blink of the right turn signal and dogged the brakes. As I rolled down the window, a cloud of rubber smoke rolled past, followed by a young officer who's lower lip was quivering. When he asked if I knew he behind me I pointed out my rear-view mirror is 2 1/2ft wide. He gave me a warning for 60 in a 55.
It all evens out, that night I was snared by a radar trap in the Newburg bypass.
