From vans to Great Danes, how did we get here? :-)

We adopted a rescue Dane in July that loves to ride in our 87 Westy Syncro, but she always wants to come up front and drive.  I am either going to have to put up a barricade or make our cat ride between the front seats as the dog is thoroughly intimidated by it.

Oh yeah, for on topic vanagon content.  Our van is not used for work other then I have been driving it to and from there daily since July 1st.
