OK Team Corvette. I appeal to you, if you can fit two golf bags, surely you can come up with a "dog space".

LOL. They not only ride in it they eat in it thru the drive thru!!!!

That day we were out car shopping, helping the daughter.......


Not a fan if Honda’s when you ride in a vette


They got hungry so next next door was a Burger King. I figure nuggets right.? The one dog would not touch them.

Cut a hole in the frunk and get him some goggles.

Do 'you' really enjoy trips in the back of your C7.

My guess is that you wanted to write:: "Fritz, our 45 lb dog, enjoys our trips in the back of the C7 nearly as much as we do sitting in the seats."

Haaaa, Mitch, you so funny. My lazy grammar, your obsessive compulsiveness. Forum writers must make you giddy.

Fritz was the name of the dog I grew up with, still miss him. Wow, haven't heard that name in a while, brings back some fond memories. Dogs are great and even better if you allow them to be part of your family.

I would do a flip up hood scoop on the frunk, flip up for doggie to stick head out, flip down for new look, perhaps a flip up scoop with a clear bubble, either way the dog will be the first one to the scene of the crash......

I find it odd that it’s perfectly acceptable to drive a motor vehicle with an unpredictable animal in your lap yet it’s frowned upon to drive with your infant or toddler child on your lap or sitting on the console

Well, the ugly stickers on my visors clearly tell me to put the kids in the back. It doesn't say anything about dogs.

Here's what we used to use for riding on the boat...... DOGGLES. She only rode in the Vette a couple of times, on my wife's lap with a beach towel over the center console, and one on her lap, on the way to the kennel as we went off for a Corvette weekend to Ocean City, MD
