Lenpo will probably buy it! That would be nice if he did, to honor her.

Hell, Al Bundy’s car went 999,999.9 miles. Now, that’s something.

Asked if any of her 4 children,9 grandchildren or 11 great-grandchildren have expressed interest in the car, Veitch responded:"It wouldn't matter if they did, they're not going to get it.They couldn't take care of it like I did."

That's just sad.

She must think all of her family members are like Clint Eastwood's in Gran Torino.

That’s not excessivley high mileage for a 48 year old car.

I've heard tell of cars that fell in love - jealous love - with their owners...

"I've never been a destructive person and I've just taken care of everything, except my husbands."

(Snicker) She's honest, too.

MERCURY BLUES

Had my money
I tell you what I’d do
I would go downtown
Buy a mercury or two
Cause I’m crazy ‘bout a mercury
Cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
I’m goin’ to buy me a mercury
And I’ll cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road

You know that gal I love
I stole her from a friend
Fool got lucky stole her back again
Because she knowed he had a mercury
Cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
Well, she knowed he had a mercury
And she cruise up and down this road

Hey now mama
Where’d you stay last night
Your hair’s all down
Your clothes don’t fit you right
Had my money
I tell you what I’d do
Go downtown and buy a mercury or two
Cause I’m crazy ‘bout a mercury
And I’ll cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road

I’m going to buy me a mercury
And I’ll cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road

I’m going to buy me a mercury
Going to buy me a mercury
Going to buy me a mercury
Cruise, cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road

I’m going to buy me a mercury
Buy me a mercury
Going to buy me a mercury
Cruise, cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road

1964 Mercurys helped hold-down health care costs. No seat belts. All steel dash with protruding metal switches. Slippery plastic-covered bench seat. When you had an accident in one of those babies, you splattered against the dashboard with the steering column protruding from your face, and died, period.

White car.

Sanford, Florida.

Racist.

That ain’t nothin’ - my 65 chevy has gone over 1.2 million miles (took 5 engine re-builds, and replacements though.)

[Revolting cat!]

Watch it go on sale after she croaks with 57,600 miles on the meter. “A little old lady drove it to church on Sundays”

[Buckeye McFrog]

Kinda sad. The organist from our church is about the same age, and the state just told him he had to quit driving for the same reason.

“I haven’t talked to Jay Leno yet,but I’m wondering if he’s interested,”Veitch said early Thursday.”But I don’t think I should start talking about it now.”

This is really funny if you consider the fact that she’s had four husbands when you read it...
