I traded my SO in for my Corvette. Deserving her doesn't play a part because I didn't want her in the first place; if I catch her feet on my dash they'll be calling her Stumpy. Then I'll have her arrested for breaking into my car.

Wow, I am surprised you feel like this, As others have said if the air bag was to deploy you would have a broken significant other for sure.
It just isn't a safe practice even if you mind it or not.

Totally correct, it's just a car. There is a lot of stuff that really wouldn't bother me that my wife could do to my car, she could take it out for a rip for all I care as I trust her. She's more important to me than my car and I've told her this many times, but I wouldn't allow her to put her feet on the dash as it is a safety concern (sometimes air bags DO go off without warning). It's the same reason why I wouldn't allow her in my car without wearing a seat belt, even if she said she was more comfortable without it or what ever reason. Make yourself comfortable but not at the expense of endangering yourself. BTW, she would never put her feet on the dash or not wear her seat belt but I just say this to illustrate a point.

I consider feet on the dash or out of the winow akin to trailer trash.

But I also think guys hacking their cats and mufflers off to make the car sound like a rice burner also falls in the same "Trailer Trash" bucket.

Sure, why not? Only if the feet are female. That's why I have a dash mat.
