Re: 91 year old still has her 46 year old car
That's pretty cool. But $50k to keep the car on the road in the past year or so alone? That's a lot of money to not invest in a new daily driver and long-deserved retirement for the car.'99 Camaro
'04 Saab 9-3 Aero
'90 Audi Coupe Quattro

Gearhead Granny! I found it amusing that she stated the fastest she ever drove it was 120mph, for a mile and that she purchased a cruise control because she got a ticket for doing 90mph. The car is in excellent shape for the year and mileage, todays cars would never last that long.

Re: 91 year old still has her 46 year old car
I saw an article a while back about her battery situation. She mentioned it briefly in this video. She bought a battery with a warranty from JC Penny. They no longer sell batteries though, so they pay firestone (?) whenever she needs a new one. I always wondered if companies would honor warranties even after they closed/changed, so its cool to hear that at least one company does!2002 SOM Camaro- Sold
2006 S60- Sold
2000 Cherokee- The desert whip
