Why is it that the wildest most unbelievable claims come out of the USA? I knew it would be some american claiming they have some 200 year old cat.

Tell that to all the tiny isolated communities across Asia that loved to claim their elders at 120+ years old constantly

Claiming a 40 year old cat is like claiming a 200 year old relative. It's essentially almost double the near maximum verifiable age for the species.

Oldest verified people have been iirc around 115? 120 isn't out of this world.

However 40 for a car is just standard American attention seeking, it's not even close to believable.
