An early 70's pinto pony with a rolls royce custom kit, side pipes, and metallic flecked paint. Really.

I don't remember. I remember buying the suit jacket. And I remember who my date was, but I seem to have blocked out the rest of the evening. I am sure it ended early and uneventfully. It wouldn't have dawned on me to get in trouble. I wouldn't have even known what that looked like.

No. She dropped out and married an older guy who had just gotten out of prison.
