Not only is it nasty, if you get into a car accident it's pretty much a guaranteed exploded pelvis.

Absolutely agree!!

If she wants to elevate her silky thighs while in motion .... (uh, this is a family forum, I can't elaborate any further).

Sorry, I love my car but my SO is far more important. If we are out on a road trip I have no problem with this. No shoes of course but if she has her socks on, or not, there is not much harm that can come of this. The car is not so important that I'm gonna fight with her if she wants to be comfortable in it.

I don't care what you drive, In my opinion someone that puts there feet on the dash shows no class at all.

With her having no respect for your car, she need to be replaced!

As a leg guy, it would depend on the pedicure!

However, I don't think it's a very safe thing for any woman (passenger) to do.

My wife finally understands. She used to put her feet on the dash when we first met and I asked her not to. Now that she has a nice suv she wants to keep it nice and does not do it anymore.

I am however ok seeing her foot prints on my inside windshield though.

For what my wife does for me, if she wants to put her feet on the dash it's all good!

Heck she can put her feet anywhere while I am driving and it will be all good!

Strike a deal for the feet on the dash - it is a car and unless she has TOXIC feet then the dash material will be fine

Damn dude what is wrong with looking at a set of legs tan stretched out and up on the dash - it gives me nice pictures in my mind!

Thanks,Matt

I wouldn't want her feet up on my dash! That's why there's a floor in the car.

If Momma is not happy, no one is happy!

I let my wife put her legs any where she wants, she is 6ft tall, she tells me that she is doing her stretching for activities when we get home! I have no problem with that, however my wife will be the only one that puts their feet on my dash!

Have my doubts that it is morally wrong, but IMO not a safe way to ride in the car. Feet belong on the floor.
