So who do you guys take with you when you go for a drive? Talking mainly pets here but you can include your wife.

I lost my best driving companion on Christmas eve, we had to put him down. The skipper was a great little pal and I miss him heaps, when we pulled into our street he would always jump up on my lap and drive the last bit.

Lawson Cox · 02-05-2015, 12:10 AM

So sad. I know you will miss him.

Lawson's gotta be careful of all them womens jumping in when he ain't lookin'.

Here's mine, Pepe, our Mexican Chihuahua, born in Old Mexico itself.

In three weeks when AnnaRae goes to our daughter's in Virginia for a week Pepe and I will spend that time on a 2,300 mile trip from Utah to Arizona, Mexico (Pepe's native land), New Mexico, and Colorado. Just the two of us. Can't wait. He is a perfect traveling companion.

Henry, if you set the gnome up in the passenger seat, you can use the carpool lane.

Pepe is a cool dog.. Almost considered a Chihuahua to replace the Skipper, we where very lucky and found another female Schipperke as a companion for Sooty our other female.

I have an 21 year old autistic daughter who loves to ride in "Big Fat Bubba"!

Sorry for the loss of your dog. My driving companions are usually my AAA Card and cell phone...

That makes two of us along with a small tool set.

My wife has been my traveling companion on all my trips. Car can't move without her. We love to travel in my '50 Ford.

Old Redneck · 02-05-2015, 08:30 AM

Same here Cecil. Mine is fixing me bacon and eggs right now.

Vic Piano · 02-05-2015, 08:49 AM

Hi Ken, how are you and Barb doing? Think you might make it down to Florida for the "Barner's Bash"?

Blu Dice · 02-05-2015, 08:58 AM

Usually my oldest daughter (37) - has been since she was very young - sometimes my second daughter (33) goes too. They both love the old cars and cruising the car shows and seeing all our car friends.

I drive with a couple of monkeys in the backseat... does that count??

Cecil/WV · 02-05-2015, 10:19 AM

As long as they don't swing by their tails!
