If not and you would like to find them, I suggest searching the local area for contortionists or midgets (or contortionist midgets).

So, I take it you've tried it out then, Steve??

Unfortunately I am neither a contortionist nor a midget

Hmm, I see my brother might be right in this matter.

You need a woman that is head and shoulders above the SVX.

Photos tomorrow to follow.

I have to take a shot without flash, or backlit maybe to see the effect.

You can make your own minds up.

That is certainly possible.

Dog lovers will recoil in horror, but I have always felt having small or big dogs loose in a car should qualify for a license ban. They should be away from the driver behind a screen where they can't interfere with the mechanics of driving.

Chevy Chase having the dog outside the car on a leash is a little extreme, maybe , but loose beside the driver qualifies for reckless driving in my book.

I used to work for a repair shop which did regular maintenance on a Ford Probe which was owned by a lady with a small dog. She bought the car specifically because of the large, flat platform under the rear window that the dog so enjoyed laying on during their travels. Most days, this is no big deal.

On collision, Fluffy becomes a missile. I guess that's the gamble.

I have a large German Shepherd who likes to go for drives. The only way he gets in the car is if the back seat is dropped so he on the carpet (half of him is in the trunk LOL), not the seats. He likes the SVX cause he can still see out while lying down. And he never puts his head out the window since someone closed a power one on him! No wonder...

Joe,
I have marks on the back seat of my Volvo just like yours. Mine were caused by hauling packed carboard boxes. That doesn't explain your front seats. Unfortunately, the regular leather oil I use didn't clear it up.

He sound lovely and well behaved Cyn.

Unfortunately in a frontal impact he will become a missile. For his sake and yours I hope you use a compartment separator for safety.
