juggler Posted July 19, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2009 They don't make them like this any more. The car or the 90 year old owner. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,533803,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djh3 Posted April 5, 2012 Share #3 Posted April 5, 2012 WOW I wonder how many of those miles were 35 mph in the left lane with the blinker going. LOL Seriously though, just shows if you take care of something like that it will last. Now a days probably not so much. You cant fix none of it, its all replacable not repairable.

Sideoftheroad Posted April 5, 2012 Share #4 Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Some of the words are exactly the same from both stories. I seem to recall a similar story but the elderly lady was from Texas. Here's another post that now she is 2 yrs older than the other post and more descriptive as to where the parts came from http://www.examiner.com/classic-cars-in-dallas/1964-mercury-comet-approaching-600-000-miles-all-driven-by-92-year-old-grandmother Did a google search by the lady's name. Consistency is she is at least in her '90's and mileage is around 560-600k. Edited April 5, 2012 by Sideoftheroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morev4 Posted April 5, 2012 Share #5 Posted April 5, 2012 I cringed when I read where she ran a red light and HAD to give up her license. How happy go lucky she wouldn't be about it if she hit a motorcycle and injured or worse killed someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyRSTD Posted April 6, 2012 Share #6 Posted April 6, 2012 Good read, thank you all. Wow, a long time to drive just one vehicle. I think I read where someone put over a million miles on a Honda Goldwinger. Fuzzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
