I appreciate all the responses to my question. However, I think I misled everyone since the pup?

Sometimes another dog in the car helps make them more comfortable. Other things to try are; a ramp so she doesn't have to jump up if you have an suv or large vehicle, make sure the car is not running and get in yourself first so she can see you're not afraid of it. Above all, patience.

Dogs can sense your frustration and the tension in your voice. If you sometimes let her ride in the car without the crate, she might look forward to car rides more. I've got two myself that you can't open a car door around without them hopping in for the ride.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
