Man owns and drives the same car for 82 years
http://rense.com/general92/Rolls-RoycePicadilly.htm
"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..."
Goes to show ya that if you take care of your car, it will last forever.

2000 miles a year... still really awesome it lasted that long.
what would really be nice about all that is to say you had a rolls and never have a car payment for 82 years, haha.
