They don`t build em like that anymore. Too Cool Gus

 

GO..RACHEL....many more miles....

 

That made my day,,thank you for posting! HRP

 

Ford ran a fleet of '64 Comets 100,000 miles at an average of 100 mph in an ad campaign in 1964. The event was covered by Hot Rod Magazine, and they reported that, once the 289 engines were torn down and inspected, only a few rocker arms were found to be worn past new factory tolerances. They had it right...but...

 

All I can say is GOD BLESS HER! Now thats what I call a CL*** woman. She knows how her car works, she goes where she wants to AND she’s carry a pistol!!!!! Awesome.

 

"Caliente, that means Hot"

 

Great story!

 

wow its in better shape that most late model cars on the road

 

Thats an average of 1,000 miles a month since it was new ..

 

That explains why people dont need to buy a new car every year
So far I have several cars that I have driven for 17 years and a Harley for 33 years

 

Way to go lady

he askes her, "your 89 years old ..arent you afraid to be out on the road with a car with this many miles on it?"..she produces a hand gun and goes on to tell him she has a CCW and knows how to use it..!

I love this Lady..

Shes getting her moneys worth out of those "lifetime warranties"

 

Props to J.C Penny's who did have an auto division to allow to honor the lifetime warranties too by paying the bill at Firestone ..

Thats cool too !!

 

That was great.

 

I''ll bet that factory A/C blows ice cubes, wasn't the old Ford saying that the motor would outlast the body .

 

that things a hell of alot cleaner than my 61,000 mile 71' olds delta 88.

 

awesome.
thats great that those co. still stand behind the lifetime also.

 

Man if that dont put a tear to your eye... my dad had a 64 2dr ht comet for a bit, was a real sweet car. Had a lil 260 in it and pulled pretty good. I am ***uming that this car has one in it too. Just goes to show if you love your car forever...your car will love you forever..

 

holy **** thats awesome

 

She's a gal who knows who she is and has her wits about her. I'd surely adopt her as my Granny!

 

cool story,my first car was a 64 Caliente,brings back some memories,thanks for posting

 

what a tough old lady. that's cool as ****.

 

That is a great story to start the weekend.

Thanks!!

 

Thanks! Now that is what makes any car cool to me,that is to have someone care that much about it...............
My grandmother is 89 and never drove a day in her life

 

That was great, she bought that car loaded A/C P/S Cruise in 1964

 

Wow! What a cool story. Thanks for posting

 

This lady owes her longevity to her state of mind - she does'nt THINK shes old.

Shes thinks shes capable, able and still swithced on.

And she is.

Way to go.

Rat

 

Now that is a great story. To bad you do not see more of those on the news. I guess good things don't sell......
