True but you haven't seen the damage she has done to some of the vehicles we have owned. I love her but I LOVE my truck.

Same here. Every car she's ever had, she's hit something with it. Usually poles, or walls in parking lots. Her personal best was totaling a brand new Firebird some guy had just bought and parked in front of his house. Still had the window stickers on it. She didn't do her Corolla any good either.

Her Toyota 4Runner has scuffs and dings on all four corners. I'll see a "new one", and ask, "What's that from?" "Oh, I don't know, it's been there for a while."

And yeah, she's always driving over curbs and flying over speed bumps...

So I don't want her driving mine either.



I do love her anyways though.

With all of that maybe she should not drive at all or let me know where she
is so I can stay out of her way. Sorry I being mean.

However my 85 year old mom can drive my truck and has no
problems with it. She does not do it too often because it a little tall
for her to get into. She is an old far girl. Trucks and tractors......Same.
