Rachel Vietch and her "chariot"

I know Honda owners who brag about getting more than 200,000 miles out of their cars. That is, if they change the all-important timing belt. 

But one Orlando woman has them beat.  By hundreds of thousands of miles. 

Rachel Vietch is going blind.  And at 93, she's ready to hang up her car keys for good.

Vietch credits diligent maintenance of the 1964 Mercury Coment Caliente for yielding so many miles.

And she says her grandkids can forget about getting the car from her. 

I love telling stories about my home state. And I hope they will help you in some way and maybe even lift your spirits.
