oh girl I feel your pain a little bit. One of mine HATES the car! Car rides are ANNOYING at best! I actually learned to turn up the radio a little louder than he is being and sing along and not even LOOK at him. This works almost all the time! He does quiet down every time and sulks ... but at least its not that ear piercing SHREIKING that makes you want to throw yourself out the window while the car is still in motion!!!
