Rachel Veitch and her beloved "Chariot."
According to the story above, she has over 576,000 single owner miles on her 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente. This a true testament to the previous generation's appreciation for fine craftsmanship and for the time and effort it takes to actually take care of something and make it last. The article doesn't take long to read and really is a fascinating story. (My wife shared it with me and so I thought I share it with all of you!)
...And here I thought we were doing pretty good...my wife's 2000 Jeep Cherokee has 250,000+ miles on it and my 1994 Jeep Cherokee has 180,000+ miles on it... I guess we have a long ways to go!
That's kinda awesome, right there. :)
