My daughter did extremely well in high school, so I told her if she graduated with high honors I would get her the car she wanted.? That turned out to be a red Chevy Iroc Z28 Camero, with the standard V8 but still pretty warm.? The important part was red.? I did get a phone call from a trooper saying he had pulled her and her girlfriends over and could I have a short talk with her about the speed limit.? Just a warning and other than that, no tickets.
