My boxer which I've had for most of my life loves to ride in cars, I've promised her at least one last ride once I get my licence, would or do you let your pets ride in your car?

Yup, Lucy the Basset Hound rides in the stang all the time. After all, a daily driver is just that--hairy occupants and all!

It is only REALLY fun when I get the wife, the son in a car seat AND the dog in the car!

I have cats so they really don't like to ride. But if we do we always put them in my wifes car. I'm always afraid they'll tear the leather.

Nope, I'm not really in to that. My dog kinda stinks, so that puts him out. And my kitty stays in the house and I don't think he would like riding.

My dog rules!! He is a chow/yellow lab mutt that I found 5 years ago and named him Marvin, but he is just too hairy to take in my car for just a "ride". I'll take him to the vet or something, but its just not worth the two hours of cleaning hair off of my cloth seats.

My cats go nuts in the car. All that meowing!

I put the dog in a specially-built device on the hood scoop. That way, they can have a good view of the drive.

Just kidding, I don't have pets.

My Rottie does ok but she is having problems with the left turn for some reason :scratch: she seems to want to gas on it most of the time as well.. also sticks her head outta the window alot even in the rain, any way I think she is ready for a state driving test...

Hard for a dog to turn off the turn signals without a thumb!

Lucy likes to sit in my lap as I drive and look out the window at passing cars.

My Cali (Bi-Black Shetland Sheepdog) loves to ride with her head out of the window-and drool-so I keep on top of cleaning!! Keep a sticky roller in the car at all times!

My golden retriever rides with me frequently in the car, so when I get my stang, I was wondering how I could make the back seat comfortable for her since she's an old girl and needs to lay down. I had in mind to get two pieces of foam to fit into the seat wells, then cover the whole thing with a blanket. Anyone got any better ideas?

I have a Siberian Husky. He rode ONCE in my car that I sold to get the new one. I said never again. I don't think I ever got all the dog hair out of the carpet.

Eddie doesn't do cars well. :angry:
He cries and whines and screams- and he has never been in the mustang, and never will be.

Sure! Let me find some. Lucy is mostly white with some tan markings. She sheds like a Christmas tree.

We love our Lab, but not in the Mustang. That's what the SUV is for.
