An old lady has all documentation of service on her 64' Mercury Comet since day one(she bought it new). She gets all parts with lifetime warranty and has everything done properly. Oh did I mention it has 540,000 original miles on it?

And people say imports last longer then domestic cars lol.

Thats bad ass. Old lady is packing heat.

The Captain · 06-14-2009, 11:04 PM

Ha, and that's when the domestic companies were still putting parts in that were designed to fail. Pretty impressive.

This is the first time that I've heard an elderly person openly support mandatory testing for license renewals. Hat is off to grandma for thinking safe

They failed a LOT. Surprising she didn't mention the receipts for them.
