Yep. Did you see the binder of all the maintenance done to the car since she purchased it. And reciepts.. Damn.. With that history, the car has got to be worth a pretty penny more than a normal #'s matching car of that type

You think that gets like 15 mpg?

557000/15 = 37,133 gallons lol

10?

That's an incredible story of an incredible lady! After watching the first video, I had to watch the other two. Other than seeing all the documentation and pride that she take in her car, "Chariot", I was really impressed with her views on the flag and how it should be treated.

It's been so long since I've seen people talk about pride in the flag like that...it's sad that it's so representative of primarily the "older" generation.

She is absolutely my new hero!
