Page "Mercury Comet" Paragraph 38

In July 2010, USA Today reported on a 91-year-old Florida woman, Rachel Veitch, who still drives her 1964 Comet Caliente daily.

The car was purchased new in 1964, and Veitch had recently set a record by accumulating over 562, 000 documented miles.

Veitch said all her car needed was " TLC " ( tender loving care ) for it to last that long.

She claimed she drove it once at 120 mph " just for a mile ," and had to have cruise control installed because she kept getting speeding tickets.
