Crazy Grandmother Driver

My grandmother (who passed away in '86) was driving me to work at my former employer with my former DISH partner (we haven't worked together since '08) in the back seat. Starting off, the road was up next to a corn field and when there was a turn, she sped up speed drifting into the corn field. When I yelled to slow down, she said she needed to speed up to get me to work on time. She continued to drive through the field and finally back on the road. 

The road the office building was on was on a forested, nearly-hidden road with lots of lush green trees and the entrance drive was a downward slope toward the building. I turned the car off and swapped places with her, only to have her swap again upon arrival and leave me stranded at work (somehow I had lost my shirt and shoes in the process). 

The strange thing there was that the office building was boarded up in prep for some promotion (everyone apparently had the day off) and there were school kids, as though the school was inside the office building. My partner finally came and rescued me and we got my grandmother into a hospital for dementia checking and to put a little weight on her (apparently the hospital thought she needed to). The hospital thought that strapping a GoPro to her head somehow helped this effort.
