The Chariot

She's owned the car since it was new (Sorry, Ford). She bought lifetime warranties on all the parts she had replaced:
7 Mufflers
3 set of shocks
16 Batteries
all free, so save those receipts!
Her car has 540,000 miles on it.
Oh, and this 89 year old woman carries a gun!

It's one thing to see a rebuilt/restored classic car.....It's another to see one that's just been perfectly maintainted for some 45 non-stop years of use.

Surely luck had a role in the longevity of that car...
