In what way is she terrified of cars?  When Mother got Candy as a puppy, 
Candy would not get in the car willingly.  You physically had to pick her up 
to get her in the hatch of the wagon.  David worked with her for a couple 
days.  At first he sat in the car and she stood outside.  Gradually he 
encouraged her to look inside the car, and check it out.  Next step was 
getting her feet up on the door sill, and encouraging her to get in on herown 
accord.  After she was in, we didn't go anywhere -- just gave her treats and 
LOTS of praise.  Finally we took a slow quiet drive around the yard (Mother 
has a LARGE yard so we could do that).  Eventually, we hit the road, and it 
was then that Candy realised that it wasn't so bad.  Now at nearly 11 years 
of age, she's ready to go anytime Mother comes out with the lead.
