Old Jews Pulling Cars: 93-Year-Old Mike Greenstein Pulls 3500 lb. Car with His Teeth
Last year 93-year-old Mike Greenstein astonished an America's Got Talent studio audience and hundreds of watchers on the street outside when he pulled a 3,500 pound car occupied by his brother, his brother's wife, and his girlfriend across a finish line using only his teeth.
Greenstein, who goes by the name Mighty Atom Jr., inherited his talent from his father, Joseph Greenstein, known as The Mighty Atom. His life is chronicled in a book called The Mighty Atom: The Life and Times of Joseph L. Greenstein; Biography of a Superhuman.
