McKenzie can try to sneak a sip of latte without changing gears or opening a window, and for that, I’m grateful.

The yellow button would have been a problem! The dog I have now likes to stay firmly in the back seat. The next one--who knows? I had one dog who hated the front so much that when I tried to get him to ride there when the back was full of groceries, he climbed in the back anyway, to the detriment of the groceries. I get the feeling the front seat of a Z28 Camaro is not that comfortable for a big dog. My short-bodied boy of the same breed preferred that seat, though. The Land Rover looks like it would be impossible for someone like me with rheumatoid arthritis to get in and out of on bad days. Also, looking at the profile from the back, I shudder to think what it would be like to drive when the Oklahoma wind is 30 mph or so. The 20 to 30 mph range is common here, and we're short on trees to block it. We actually had a weather warning recently to park your cars facing a certain direction so the wind wouldn't blow doors off when you opened them. I'm going to keep dreaming about that yellow Toyotamobile! It might be a worthy successor to my 1980 Z280--if I can ever bear to part with it. ---Kathy Diamond Davis I had a dog who rode with front feet on the console between front seats and hind feet in the back seat, her body between the two front seats of my Z28 Camaro.
