Wow, that is a great story!

I love how she said they should test a driver her age instead of giving her a license for 6 years.

Pretty cool...for a Ford. The stories of the original owner cars like that are the best! She's a very savvy lady getting those warranties over the years!

That was a good story. It sure helps that she lives in a car friendly climate. I remember back in 1987 I worked at a GM dealer. There was an elderly lady who had a 66 Caprice. When she bought the car she got lifetime "lube" (not oil and filter-just lube!). She would bring that car in and show her tattered coupon for free lube. The car looked good on the outside but was rotten underneath. It was kind of neat though- a Maroon 4 door hardtop with black bucket seats.
