If you talk to 99% of car owners they would say that spending 20-50K modifying a car is crazy, but everyone here understands that personalizing the car is what makes ownership of a fun. That is what is normally so awesome about 6 Speed is the ability of the people here to understand that just because it isn't normal doesn't mean that it is bad. If I were to see this car out on the road with a great dane, and no passenger seat to make it possible, it would definitely make me smile and earn a thumbs up. Is it something that I would do? No, but it works for him and he loves his dogs company enough to do it. My hat is off to you for doing what works best for you to keep your dog by your side.

PS Pics or Ban

Gun, To begin, he initially mentioned that he hired someone to walk his dog everyday. Why he can't exercise his own dog is a mystery. Don't most good dog owners take their dog out when they get home from work? Modifying his car any way he chooses is his own biz, but to have a dog unrestrained in his 997 while driving is irresponsible and dangerous for several reasons. 1) Passenger window is obstructed. 2) The dog could easily be injured w/ braking/evasive manuevers and 3) The dog could impair the drivers ability to control the car if it moves toward driver even slightly. Comparing this to modifying the HP of a turbo is just mindless.
