In an interview with XO Jane, Erika spoke of her driving experience with the old Saturn car belonging to her mother. "I was doing like... 95? A long time ago, on a very straight, tempting, beautiful stretch of highway. And the cop was so nice about it. I remember he asked me, 'Excuse me, miss may I see your pilot's license?'"
