Speed limits Quote by Rita Henuber
““He (Rico) moved to look at the speedometer. “Come on, Olivia. The speed limit is 70. You’re doing 95, and this car is ticket bait. I don’t want to risk getting stopped.” “I’m traveling with the flow. This is I-95. If I go the speed limit I’ll stand out.” He scowled. “Okay.” She slowed the Corvette. “Thanks,” he muttered. “You always drive like this?” “Yep, I grew up in Texas. Speed limits there are only a suggestion.””
