How far will you drive a kid to college?

My niece is the smartest/sweetest/cutest most adorable 19 year old on the planet.

She is attending college at San Luis Obispo 250 miles north.

There is a train that runs between here and there, she has taken it a few times but it is an all day ride.

Niece is coming down for mothers day... great! Her dad is up north and will drive by her school to pick her up on his way home.

Last night we get a text from my SIL "would you be interested in driving (niece) back to school? We will pay for gas and a hotel room for one night."

That is 500 miles round trip, I have to work Monday so my wife would have to drive niece up there Sunday then back by herself.

Personally I think the niece is pushing for mom and dad to buy her a car.

What think ye? Would you let your wife drive her back to school?

Mind you I drove almost that far and spent the day moving my step daughter into college... but for every weekend visit? When there is a train running between here and there?
