At 102, she's having more fun than people half her age.
雖然已經(jīng)102歲高齡，但伊迪絲·皮滕格的生活比很多50幾歲人都要有趣刺激。
A great grandmother was treated to 180-mph laps around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway — a breathtaking feat she only wishes was faster.
這位偉大的老奶奶在印第安納波利斯賽車場(chǎng)挑戰(zhàn)了180邁（約每小時(shí)290公里）賽車，對(duì)于這一動(dòng)人心魄的速度她還嫌慢。
"He said 180 is the maximum," a courageous Edith Pittenger told The Star Press of her incredible ride while seated behind none other than racing legend Mario Andretti Tuesday.
伊迪絲·皮滕格十分勇敢，她向星報(bào)記者講述了自己的賽車挑戰(zhàn)，“他說180邁已經(jīng)是速度極限了。”伊迪絲所說的“他”指的不是別人，正是照片中站在他身后的方程式傳奇車手馬里奧·安德烈。
"I wanted to do 200, but he wouldn't do that," she cheekily said.
她悻悻地說道，“我想把車速開到200邁，但是他不同意。”
Still, when it comes to hair-raising speed, Pittenger is no stranger to living in the fast lane herself.

At the age of 96 the Muncie resident took her first laps around the Speedway with Dutch driver Arie Luyendyk Jr.
