Paul,

I'd be concerned that if she's that inattentive backing up and maneuvering at lower speeds, think of the consequnces of the same inattention on the highway... It's not like this is a one time thing, it seems pretty constant.

What would I do?

1. No more nice cars. - 76 Corolla sounds good to me.
2. She breaks it, She pays to fix it. (making the '76 a better idea)
3. Any damage results in a "break" from the car for a few weeks.

It's not just the money dude, it's the danger.
