Pasadena is the home of the JPL
THEREFORE she's either developed or swiped rockets from work and BOLTED THEM TO THE CHASSIS, and that's why she's so fast.
@kelseyhusky wait, that doesn't preclude bolting rockets to things...
@Leucrotta See, i just took it to mean she was a total gearhead, did all the work herself, and then outran the cops just to impress her girlfriend of 33 years. they'd been together since highschool.
