I was just driving to work in very slow moving, bumper-to-bumper traffic. I love it, it's one of my favorite twice daily activities. So I get behind a brand new 745i. With the "new and improved" rear end they are really good looking vehicles. It's all black with sharp looking black rims with brushed chrome rings on them. All polished and looking quite "executive-pimped".
Then I notice it. Through the rear window I see the driver's head and another pair of ears in the backseat. Pointed ears. Up pops the outline of a very large German Shepherd. HUH?? The dudes driving a new seven and his dog is walking back and forth on the leather seats?! I know there are some sorts of doggie mats available, and I hope he had one, but really.....!? I've had dogs when I was younger, but I've never been one to have one drive with me on a regular basis. I can see in the F150 maybe, or the '74 Volvo wagon, or even the Odyssey with the kids on the way to football practice. But a new friggin' 745i?
What do you all do if you're dog owners? We are all familiar with Dave M and Oscar, but I'm thinking he goes in the truck most of the time, right? I know that a dog is man's best friend...(except if your brother in law happens to be a BMW Certified Mechanic that is)...but:
Do you or would you let your dog ride in the E34? Those of you who do, what side effects do you experience? Scratches, drool, doggie-smell, worse??
Don't get me wrong, I like dogs......some more than alot of people I know, just not enough to wreck a brand new $60-70k car.
