    Post 101 yr old lady driving and 81 yr old Packard car

    This is AMAZING -- she doesn't look or act a day over 81 herself!

    An amazing lady, 101 years old driving an 81 year old car; she changes
    the oil and spark plugs herself! This is priceless.

    Note at the very end of the video clip when she steps on a small red towel
    as she gets in the car; the towel is there so she won't dirty the
    running board - once in the car she picks up the towel and puts it
    in the car so she can use it when she gets out.

    What a pistol she is!
