My favorite part is that JC Penney stills pays for her batteries...and all the other lifetime warranties shes got from various people...awesome.

    That's a really cool story. Awesome to see a woman her age still going strong too. Reminds me of my Grandpa. He's 86, and I swear, the guys got more energy than I do half the time...lol

    It's amazing that all of those places still honor those lifetime warranties. Some high marks on their part.

    What a great story! She's still got it.

    That's really amazing...and that's one tough, gutsy grandma there! Over a half-million miles on a COMET???? That's what I call MAINTENANCE! I doubt there are any other comets still on the road! The inside of that engine looks cleaner than our 2 year old Prius?

    89 and still running...Kudos to her!
