I love that lady.
Reminds me of my grandmother... which is partly why her '66 Dodge (now mine) is still on the road today. I remember as a kid I'd go visit and she'd likely be under the hood changing a water pump or PS pump "because it was starting to sound funny."

That is just plain cool
And a big block no less!!!

I saw that she was going to be on, but didn't stay up late enough to watch it. Jay joked and said "she finally made her last car payment".
Kewl!

Yeah, my grandma was an independent ol' bird, and I think about her a lot when I drive that car. Once when I was in college I stopped by her house to see how she was doing and I found her up on the roof sweeping pecan shells and leaves off the flatter part. She was about 80 at the time (this was the mid 1980s, she was born in 1906). I looked up at her with my "[censored] do you think you're doing?" face, and she just said "you weren't supposed to come by here today," and kept on sweeping. Failing eyesight took her out from behind the wheel at about age 90, so the gal with the Comet is fortunate in that regard.

I hope to have her outlook and enthusiasm when I hit my golden years. Good for her, nice to see positive stories and people amongst all of the negative news.
man, she has spent a FORTUNE on that car.
I guess we will never know what oil or grade oil she used...She probably used a honest independent so I would assume it would have been bottled oil not the bulk recycled stuff that most quick lube places use.
Truly an inspiration for all of us.
