Agreed. The article says she was born in 64 but the headline says she is 64...

The Denver-based mother of four took up classic car road rallying eight years ago and is still at it at age 64, having visited six continents in a 1956 Porsche 356A that shares her birth year.

Yah, ok, I read this as a 64 365 that shares her birth year. Sue me, I’m tired having climbed a mountain yesterday to pull miles of old timing gear out of the bush And test my kids ski race team’s timing system...
