I've been told we should get our vehicles back by the end of
the coming week.
Took the rental car back yesterday the wife was driving, and
she actually wanted to consider keeping it longer. I think she
only used it three times in two weeks, and I could have easily
driven her to those things since I'm retired and her slave.
She told me she wanted to go see the son tomorrow, so I had her
drive it home from the drop off place to see if she could
handle it. First time she has ever driven my truck in 14
years. I didn't like it.

I thought she had done a little driving when you were in the Utah
boonies? Maybe I'm mixing you up with another poster here.

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.
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.

Oh, that all makes sense about the vehicles. To the other point,
I've seen some people put good sized rocks at the edges of their
driveway to encourage drivers not to cut any corners. Maybe that
puts your vehicles at too much risk?

Same here. I always back in my Acadia, and she won't--leaves it
in the driveway for me to do (though she very rarely drives it).

My wife hasn't expressed any interest in driving when we're towing
the trailer. In fact, she's come right out and said she wants no
part of that.
I've been told we should get our vehicles back by the end of the coming
week. Gosh, I hope so. Has really turned into long time with it being
in there two months now.
