I LOVED this story...

89 year old grandma drives a Comet with 540,000 miles on it, and she put on every mile herself. The car has went through 16 batteries and 7 sets of mufflers on lifetime guarantees.

Plus she packs some heat underneath the seat.

That was great...Thanks for the link!!

I was at a car show a few years back and was talking to a younger fellow who was driving a T5 bronze 69 coronet 4dr. His Dad had bought it new and past it down to him with low mileage and in great roignal condition...anyways he had a couple lifetime warranty itemms from Canadian tire and he said the whine and complain every time they go it for a replacement.

That was a GREAT story DG!! Thanks for posting it. Boy oh boy, if we could all be like her at 89, we'd have no worries. What a great lady.......wish I knew her.

I love those mid-60s Comets, especially the Caliente model. When we first moved up here in 1976, our neighbour had a '66 Caliente, 4 dr. Loved that car. Bet he wishes he'd kept it now. Makes me want to take good care of all my vehicles like that......ya just never know.
