That was her daily driver, the Ford Bronco.  I drive a Ford F-150 which 
she had never driven before.  It's a much bigger vehicle than what she 
is used to so my big concern is her forgetting the rear axle and running 
over curbs, kids, or grandma.  I've got a driveway that is 25' wide at 
the street.  Yet just about everyone who pulls into the driveway can't 
seem to manage to stay off the grass when making a right hand turn. 
Drives me nuts.  I've told my MIL it was a good thing there wasn't a kid 
standing there as she's gone over 6' in the grass and would have killed 
the poor thing.

I back it into my garage and she drove it to the driveway and told me I 
could put it in there.  Parking even in a stalled lot is nothing like 
what she is used to.  Then you have to remember when they're driving to 
not talk to them.  They forget the vehicle again and start running 
things over.

She can ask all she wants, but I'm never letting her drive the RV.  Just 
ain't worth it.  When I'm dead she's gonna sell it anyway, so why bother.
