    Brand new in 1928, drove it until he died last year at 102 years old, now that's love.

    2,000 miles a year..wow that's so little. That's amazing though, I wish I could do that with my car but it will probably die out sooner than I want it to.

    I have seen that car on a few occasions as he is near my hometown. Never got a chance to meet the man but what a cool story

    That is an awesome story.

    I thought this was going to be me with my first 911 that I bought at 18... then I found the Evora.
