15. Reminds me of something that happened to me years ago...
My sister had a little Triumph Spitfire roadster and I had a gigantic harlequin great dane that LOVED to go riding in it. She (the dog- not my sister :) ) would "sit" on the back ledge and her head was easily a foot or more above the windshield. We got a lot of strange looks. Mostly, we drove around the neighborhood- probably never going faster than 25 or 30 mph.

At a red light one day, some woman started yelling at us- I mean REALLY laying into us about being awful, awful people for riding around with the dog unprotected like that. I (nicely) told her to MYOB, but she continued, screaming that if we were going to ride the dog around like that we HAD to get her goggles and a scarf (to tie over her ears). The image of that struck me as hilarious- a great dane in a sports car with goggles and a scarf. So of course, I HAD to find goggles and a scarf (and I added a beret to complete the ensemble) and try to put them on a great dane (who very much had other ideas)...

Sorry- had to take that trip down memory lane! :hi:
