Get a load of this!
Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield , MA.) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Picadilly P1 Roadster from his father, brand new - as a graduation gift in 1928. He drove it up until his death last year...at the age of 102 !! He was the oldest living owner of a car from new. Just thought you'd like to see it. He donated it to a Springfield museum after his death. It has 170,000 miles on it, still runs like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any speed and is in perfect cosmetic condition. (82 years) That's approximately 2000 miles per year...

That's just amazing, I can't imagine having something for that long.
My mom has had the same car since she was 16 (in 1976) and still owns/drives it to this day.

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."
