It's a dream for many seniors graduating from high school this month:  Will the parents spring for a car?  One of the perks of being on City Council is feeling that rush all over again.  Today was the last Council session of the spring.  Council now starts its three-month vacation. But before they set sale for the Jersey Shore, Council President Anna Verna had a staffer tell the other 16 members of Council that they will soon get to check out their options for a new ride.  Council members can replace their city-issued cars with one of three new models:  the Chevrolet Impala, the Chevrolet Malibu or the Ford Taurus.  Fleet management will be bringing the models to City Hall soon so Council members can take a good look.  Mmmm...new car smell.

UPDATE:  Doug Oliver, Mayor Nutter's spokesman, tells PhillyClout that the city is in the process of buying the new cars.  Here's what they cost:  The Impala goes for $16,000, the Malibu runs $17,000 and the Taurus is top of the line at $20,000.
