Lots of Miles

You’ve heard the old saying: “They don’t make them like they used to.” For at least one driver, that is certainly true!

Rachel Veitch, 90, of Orlando Florida, is still driving her 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente every day, which recently notched its 559,000th mile. She credits her meticulous care and near-obsessive dedication to her car -- she calls it "Chariot" -- as the reason it's still turning over every morning, year after year after year.

The retired nurse maintains an exhaustive collection of maintenance records and changes the oil every 3,000 miles. She and her faithful ride have gone through eight mufflers, at least 17 batteries and three sets of shocks.
