Jason … forgot to say: Congrats on baby-on-the-way! You and your wife are obviously more of those dog-lovers who hate kids.

Gina, you cracked me up with your ad. I love it! As for the idiot commenter, I hope he refills his meds.

:::doh::: Sell the dog hair ... van free with! Actually, there's a possibility our DogCars.com editor, Keith Turner, may be buying it for his teenaged daughter. Dad wants: Safe, reliable, boring, economical. Teenage daughter wants: Cool. We'll see who wins this one. I'm betting on teen daughter.

Gina, wrong sales pitch. You need to say owned by a world famous author, includes souvenier dog hair, bumper stickers, etc. Market to your public and forget the losers.

Hey, when I bought Emo, the greatest dogmobile evah, from a father of six, it came complete with crayons.

I was finding crayons in nooks and crannies of that lunar excursion module until the day I stood sobbing in the driveway as the junk man towed him away.

A lot more persistent than even German shepherd hair.

But given my expectations for a vehicle that cost me $3500 and carried me for 13 years, I found the crayon-dimensional-portal charming rather than annoying.

Ha!

Well, I know that Dr. Patty Khuly has hauled her goat in her SUV.

I worked at a car dealership, once. We took in a minivan that had been used to haul alpacas. THAT was a van that needed some detailing!

Hahahahaha! Loved your ad, would buy the car immediately. Perhaps next you should say, “Used Obama and Bark bumper stickers, $950 firm, will throw in car.” In our moments of deepest frustration we have thought of offering our Bad Dog, Harry, in an ad as “Sharp, shiny teeth. Full set. Slightly worn dog included.”
