Gramma & Her '64 Comet!

The lady in the few minute vid is 89, and her original '64 Mercury Comet still runs like a top, with nearly 540,000 miles on the odo...she is a pizzer!

My ol'man had a '64 powder blue Comet vert that I got to drive on rare occasions. It never ran as well as hers does.

There is a link in the paragraph below the vid that has an updated vid showing her now at 91, and the car is pushing 600k miles!


I suspect we will not see many current model Xs on the road in 2050...
They don't make them like they used to, car or Gramma, imo.

Ah, B...you flatter me.

I'm hoping the X makes it to 80k next, and I make it another
spin around the sun.

She is a remarkable person, though.

Quite the gal. She's still sharp as a tac too. She says "I've had her up to 120" with pride. She's all for retesting drivers instead of just automatically renewing their license. Wow!

Hey mD, why are you hanging out on growingbolder.com? That's for old people.
