Allyssa pushed the gas pedal to the floor of the Volvo station wagon, cursing under her breath as the vehicle slowly responded. Driving her mother’s old family ‘mobile’ was humiliating, uncool, and not at all what she wanted to be driving. She had eyed the sports vehicles for years but felt a nice Jeep should be in her future. Unfortunately, her funds were limited. Being a student at Colorado State meant she had to take what she could get. This vehicle, not even her mother’s station wagon, but the maid’s occasional use vehicle, was all she could manage. She was saving her pennies though. She wanted something hip, something cooler, and something more in line with her style of what she thought she should drive.
Today, she just wanted to feel the wind whip through her dirty brunette hair and had all the windows down. It was the first time snow wasn’t paramount in her mind as the cool spring had turned warm for the first time in ages. As she sped past the speed limit, dangerously slow, she became more alert and watched for any state troopers hiding in the turnouts or on ramps, their radar guns aimed at the traffic. Fortunately, this far out on the prairie they were easier to spot, lazier actually, and rarely came out here unless someone phoned for help.
After a while she slowed, took an off ramp, went up and over the interstate and onto the on ramp leading back on the interstate the other way. She cautiously merged, slowing enough that several faster cars passed her on her left until she was in the slow lane and she began to accelerate. She pushed the gas pedal to the floor again and waited interminably for the old vehicle to respond. She sighed. The speed, the rush of air, and the adrenalin weren’t going to do it for her today. She was going to have take what she got, again.
