thanks for the help guys. I will definitely look into the seat covers.

And Carl, you're semi right. A wagon would be perfect for a dog, but ever since I first laid my eyes on the estate I wanted it.

My wife also has a Yorkie and it is more than welcome in my car. It's an indoor dog and doesn't shed so not much to worry about. That and the fact that my wife holds it or it is in its house makes it a trouble free ride.

My 22lb Cocker Spaniel comes with me in the C55. We don't go driving often, but when we do I just put a bed down on the passenger seat. She's really good in the car though, basically just sits or lays down on the bed. When she was younger I used to have to Windex my windows every time she was in there though. I agree that letting dogs hang out the window is a no-no, so I keep them closed but she insisted on rubbing her nose all over the window, so I would have snot-trails criss-crossing the entire surface.

Here's some pics, one when she was a puppy, one watching the world series, one after a haircut, and one on topic in the car... don't worry she was safely restrained during filming

Chubby is allowed in all the cars but its a pain in the as$ cuz his white hair gets all over the black interiors. Most people look at me like I'm crazy when they see Chubbs in the 996TT. He usually does a lot of this in there vvvvvvvv

Sure! My dog has always been a car dog, and has ridden in every car we have ever had no matter what kind of car it was. As long as you watch them, and do not have a super hyper dog, it is really no big deal. It does help to make sure their nails are trimmed properly though so that they do not accidentally scratch anything. Oh, and just because spelling is a pet-peeve of mine....I think you meant to say 'borrow'. Just trying to help.

Interesting mix Pointer/Dane gotta see pix?

I've had (2) Great Danes now, 1st was my boy "Atlas" Brindle GD he lived a long full life of 11 1/2 yrs (I wish it was more though) he road w/me in my 69 Bronco & Ford F250 4x4 w/8" lift among other vehicles (could jump in the back bed w/1 graceful leap) kept him tethered from left to right w/center harness around his chest/shoulders, so no lateral movement very safe..

He made an awesome spectacle in traffic so many people pointing/smiling/laughing/taking pic's on these excursions, he would stomp & growl shaking the entire truck @ the sight of any other dog, looked like "King Kong w/chains on" it was mostly show as he was a big sweetheart, unless someone made an aggressive move towards me (he weighed nearly 200lbs at his prime)

He passed Nov 2007.....Then Came "Athena" Silver Blue Great Dane (Kinda like a dark Alacantra lol) from Southern Iowa, had her flown into LAX (she's the puppy in frnt in my avitar) just turned 1 yr on Dec 08...She road in my C6 Vette (hated it! the exhaust snarl would send her into my lap, so I bought a seatbelt harness that kept her safe in passenger seat, she also got to ride in the SL600 but has quickly out grown the Merc, now she rides like Atlas used to in the F250...

Sometimes cruzin w/your dogs can be quite kool (Danes are Chic-Magnets! I can't remember the amount of women I've met or had join us) if Athena needed transport to the Vets office & my SL was the only option you better believe the top would be down & she'd be harnessed to the pass seat & roll-bar

I'm thinking of buying her a boyfriend, already got the perfect name "BRABUS"

Some pic's of me & Atlas driving Bronco, then playing in yard w/me I'm 6'1" you can see how big Atlas was, F250 w/Sky Jacker 8" lift on 37" BFG's, Athena...

211 Beast: Live just down the road from you in the OC! My wife and I have a 3 year old Boxer (Jake) who weighs 85 lbs. First drive with him in the passenger seat was a bad idea especially if you have a heavy foot like most of us do and drift it in the corners! He was all OVER the place and was trying to hang on with his paws which equalled scratching the leather a bit. Recommend as MOST would a seat cover or use an old comforter like we do and tuck that SH$$ in! Otherwise enjoy the ride with mans best friend!

Nice shirt there buddy

I completely forgot about this thread. And I forgot that I ever even liked that little mutt. Damn thing does nothing but bark and drive every sane person insane.

I got my own dog just a little while after I started this thread. She's almost 4 now, oh how the time has flown.

We both know that your "South African" status has been officially revoked. How can you look yourself in the mirror and CLAIM to be from the continent without having one of these (seriously though - those Boerboels will ONLY play with our Ridgeback - it's like they know

My Boston Terrier Tyson goes pretty much everywhere with me in the 55. Pretty much his car, he just lets me borrow it from time to time.

We have two Vizsla's and I can guarantee that they will never see the inside of the E63.
They love riding in the pickup as well as the wife's beetle, but when the beast sees those claws, the door locks go down automatically as well as the hair shedding issue .
They prefer walks to rides anyway !!!
