Man drives same car for 80+ years

Quite the graduation present. 

Bloody oath     Can you imagine the fun that was had in that car.... in the first few months of ownership 

A splendid story, regardless.

A splendid story indeed.

I've been driving the same car since 1984. We'll see if I beat him.

You should have focused on what wasnt true and embelished that part of the story.
