Sure sound to me like someone that had no clue how to drive an
automatic.
All the automatics I have ever owned had this neat little feature called
a shift lever. When I used to use it, I would actually be able to slow
my vehicle down, especially handy on long mountain passes in the
Rockies. Even better for real slow if you own a Jeep that has a low
range. You can even get a 1st gear limiter for those.
But if you are so spooked you can't handle the thought of down shifting
an auto, well maybe you shouldn't be off road to start or tackle any of
them mountain passes. At least read up on the Darwin Awards so you know
what you are getting yourself into.... ;-)

Why not discuss it with her and then do exactly what she wants?
