What a hoot! Gal seems like one hell of a human being. Gotta admire her smarts, guts, and persistence. Granny drive herself to her high school reunion? Yeah, ok, guess she can handle it. Minor details like it being her SEVENTIETH reunion, and it's 3k miles away? Pfft - no worries! That's less than a 1% adder to the miles she's already put on her Comet!

Great work on the lifetime warranties - dozens of free batteries, brakes, and other stuff!

Granny and Her Chariot

I love the fact that she gave the DMV heck for just giving an 85 year old a new license without testing her. Good for her. I hope she can continue to drive that car for many more years.

Thanks for posting that, made me smile.
I live across the street from a woman who is 97. She graduated from college, raised a family while teaching for 30'ish years, and lives by herself. She is a delight to have in the neighborhood, reminds me of that lady.
