Fantastic story! Thanks for sharing.

You don't realize how oversized that car is until you look at her behind the wheel (for scale).

I bet she changes her own oil, too.

It mentions she does so in the article, Lizzie, and that she relies on a small team of friends to do the maintenance, one of whom is 90. An incredible lady and an incredible car. It would be an honor to have tea with her

Very cool article. She's really an inspiration!

The lady refers to her neighbor Henry Ford in the article: “He always wore a hat with a sizable brim and a black band, and he’d push it off his face when he talked to you, and looked you right in the eye.”

Very cool from a hat lover's point of view.

I want to be like her when I grow up!
