This is an unusual love story involving an 89-year-old woman and her beloved Chariot. The two have been together for decades and traveled more than 540,000 miles across this nation's highways and side streets.

Not sure if I want to see a video of an 89-year-old lubing up anything, thanks.

I hate to be cliche, but they don’t make ‘em like that anymore (Mercury Comet).

This is also a SMART lady — she gets frequent work and always gets Lifetime warranties on replacements and holds the vendors to their warranties.

Tough as nails — both of them

And from the looks of it packs a 38 special revolver. One tough lady is right.

Shows that a little maintenance on a car goes a long way.
