This one, anyway. Maybe. Still pulling the old matching green teardrop trailer....

Florida Woman, 90, Behind the Same Wheel 559,000 Miles Later


Veitch's dream car saw its lone renovation about 12 years ago, after she got a speeding ticket for going 92 mph in a 55 mph zone.


"After that, I put in cruise control," she said. "You can't hold her down, she's a feisty old girl."

HikerChick, that's your E and trailer? Holy crap that's awesome!

Why, thank you!

The entire story of the E + matching teardrop trailer is at this link:

Manuevering in and out of it could be a challenge at 90....

Wonderful story, indeed. But the concept isn't, or shouldn't be limited strictly to chicks (no offense, hiker chick).


The Hobie Cat 16 behind my Element is 25 years old, and I feel the same way about it. Should I live another 25 years, I assume I'll still be driving my Element!

None taken, of course. ;-) But love of cars is still more associated with men than women, so it's particularly noteworthy when a 90-year old woman has remained faithful to one vehicle (while going through three husbands).

I also admire old ladies who speed. She's a speed sister. And if she ever drives through Virginia, I know a good lawyer....

My E recently hit 40,000 miles. Have probably less than 2000 miles on the teardrop.

My '69 Mustang had 220,000 miles on it when I sold it.

There was sadness in the family when I sold him. 'Ol Blue.

H C, I still think that is the best looking combo ever. What class hitch do you have on your E?

Thank you!

The 2" receiver from u-Haul.

I forget what "class" that is.

Works great.
