Quote: 557,000 miles on her Chariot
Sweet old Rachel Veitch of Orlando, Fla., could be the ruination of the automobile industry. But at least she's cute. When GrowingBolder.com first interviewed her, she was 89 years old and had 540,000 miles on her 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente. Now she's 90, still packing a sharp tongue and a stubby pistol, and the odometer has clicked past 557,000. Unlike her three husbands, Veitch says, the Mercury has "never lied to me, never cheated on me, and I can always depend on her." |
