If your work is anything like mine, it's not fit for human consumption.  Given the sensibilities of the average person, that's pretty bad.  As I contemplated this, I thought of goats.  I mean, who wouldn't?
 
At an earlier point in life, I lived on a farm, taking care of the cows, pre-becan, horses, chickens and goats.  Goats are weird.  When you have several of them in your car, they're even stranger.
 
They walk all over you, jumping between the front and back seats, and stick their heads out of the windows like dogs.  Here's a re-enactment.

 
No.  I don't know who that guy is or why he has goats in his car.  I can guess, though.  I think he's checking his latest mix.  If he's anything like me, he has to check his mixes in his car to hear what it sounds like on a "real" stereo.  Also, it's a good idea to get some reactions from your target audience.  Yes, I mean the goats...
 
Among the animal population, they're some of the least likely to shred, eat, bite, pummel, scratch or sting you if they don't like your mix.  Sure, they may head butt you in a rather uncomfortable manner, but who wouldn't?
 
By the way, the look on someone's face when they do a double-take to see that incredibly ugly dog sticking its head out of your window is priceless.  I loved pulling up next to someone at a stoplight and watching them freak out when they stared into a goat's face.

You think the goats would try and eat the car.

 
Or some of it.

Lolly has been in the car several times. She liked to eat the posters off the vet's waiting room wall. She's very old now.

This thread reminds me of the Police album, " Goats In The Machine".

Probably better than the Psychedelic Furs song...
