There are probably 3 days a year that qualify as not too warm...not too cold....aren't going to be in the store too long...able to park where we can see the car from where we will be, etc. Okay, I'm exagerating about the 3 days, maybe it is 5! Our dogs love to go along, but rarely get to go because of all the conditions that have to be met. When we bought our last car the primary consideration was having a sunroof that could be left partially open to allow proper air circulation. Tucker is a good car rider, so calm and collected, just looks out the window. Hannah is the kind that thinks she has to go potty 5 minutes after we leave the house, so that trait in and of itself keeps her from going along many times when she could.

And I am sure that we are quite a sight with my husband and I eating in a restaurant where we have a window booth with me waiving at the dogs who are in the car parked in front outside the window.
