Default Ultimate Dream Vehicle for GSDs

This week we have another wonderful topic submitted by one of our wonderful Admin;

What is your dream vehicle for GSDs?

This doesn't have to be a vehicle that is already out there on the market. It's what you'd have if you could make a dream vehicle. What would you include in the vehicle and why?

(I'm curious to see how creative all of you members are. )

I think Toyota's FJ Cruiser would be the ultimate driving machine for the dogs. It's interior is made so it can all get wet (I think it's basically rubber with the exception of the seats). It is 4 wheel drive and made to get to those off road places. It has an area in the back like an SUV so my dogs can be comfortable in the back. If Hondo barfs, I just hose it out. Perfect!

For me: it has speakers through out the vehicle to tone out hubby's constant "You're going too fast".

LOL... I need one with a silence chamber so I don't have to hear Sarah tell me how wrong I'm driving and that I need to turn the music down. Btw... she would be in the silence chamber!! The dog and me would be rockin'!!!

Great idea! We'll add a silence chamber....outside the vehicle, like on one of those brackets in the back that holds a bike or wheel chair. We'll give them A/C, cause we are just nice that way.....

Well in that case, listen up auto makers!

It would be an SUV type. 4X4. Hybrid. large cargo area. seats that fold up out of the way or taken out. Durable easy clean interior that looks nice but I can hose it out if needed. I want a lift type thing...like the Dodge Nitro only I want that loader to come down about knee high. I want the dash areas and all crevaces to be sealed good so hair does not party there. Power plugs in the cargo area. Like K9 unit cars I want a push button and door opens option..mini vans have that don't they? I think most importantly they need to come up with a filter system that catches the floating dog hair.

heated seats, ac vents all around, sunroof, good sound system, home for my ipod, loudspeaker lol

Does anyone have the dog friendly Honda Element?

I was considering it last year but I don't like the boxy look and I drive more than the dog so I need a comfy car.

MY Hilux ute is pretty good, with a canopy and doggy proof windows. Its a toughdeck so she can get ll wet and muddy and jump in and its easy to clean - also my car doesn't smell like dog! (Tho it does smell like horse from all the horse gear in the front, thats the real reason shes in the back!)
