540,000 Miles, Same Owner Same Engine

Watch The Video

This is an unusual love story involving an 89-year-old woman and her beloved car named Chariot. The two have been together for decades and traveled more than 540,000 miles across this nation's highways and side streets. Chariot is a 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente. The car and the woman have traveled to the moon and back...over half-a-million miles together. Awesome!

This information was written in 2007. She's now 91 going on 92 and I think Chariot has more than 560,000 miles on her. Watch the video and be inspired. I'm going to show it to the men at my garage and tell them I want to make an appointment for my new best friend. She insists on staying with her car while its being worked on or she goes elsewhere. She's a mechanic's worst nightmare. I love her; Rachel is my new hero. Don't forget to watch the Rachel Updates too. She gives new meaning to the word frugality. I look forward to your comments. Don't forget to share with your friends.

Many thanks to Penny and Randy who sent me the link.
