An amazing lady, 101 years old driving an 81 year old car; she changes the oil and spark plugs herself! This is priceless.

Note at the very end of the video clip when she steps on a small red towel as she gets in the car; the towel is there so she won't dirty the running board - once in the car she picks up the towel and puts it in the car so she can use it when she gets out.

I think she may own a original - vintage - Rolex (bought new of course), made by Hans himself!!!

What a wonderful lady, and sharp as a tack! I wonder how long she has owned the car?

Love the bumper sticker about Old Age and Treachery.

That video just makes my day.

I think this related story about her is even more interesting!

When you read about her background and her benevolence, it makes her all the more amazing! Very humbling to read these.

PS. ha ha, bumper sticker. yes Lisa, I smirked when I saw that as well.

PPS. I turned 50 last January, so I am now entitled to officially join the Ulysses Motorcycle Club (50 year-olds are newbies. Veteran members are typicaly 80-90+ !!! )

Thanks for the link, John. I just read that story and I love her even more. Hope she lives to be 150!

Oh- and the article says she's owned that Packard since 1949.
