Heroes, Hellions & Hot Rods: Rocking the Boat At Piedmont High

Bud ordered and briefly wore to classes a T-shirt reading, "e;Piedmont High may not be the end of the earth. But you can see it from here."e; Oddly, that would not be well received by the school's administrators. No biggie there. Bud was always in trouble with those folks anyway. One positive side to being in such a rural setting was the plenitude of backroads; largely free of state troopers. Bud liked to hurl his old 1968 Mustang Fastback down those backroads. It might be old, but Bud and Deuce, his ace mechanic, had "e;The Blue Flame,"e; as they called her, hopped up and ready for anything. Trudy didn't seem to care about Bud's car. She just liked to climb into that vehicle - or any other place they could get together - and ask him to hold her. She seemed to need that. The Mustang driver was also interested in a mysterious blonde with huge blue eyes, who had introduced herself by claiming, "e;I'm your new girlfriend, Bud."e; That girl would promptly disappear; then reappear at odd times.
