Actually, they fit reasonably well, which was a surprise for me. Certainly not comfortable, but no torture either. The biggest issue is height - bumping the head into the roof.
Hmmm. If they can fit the entire foot + lowest long bone part horizontally into the footwell, the rest of the legs would be in pretty much the same position as ours when we pull the crus flush to the seat. Leaves the (base of the) tail to be somehow folded around the backrest ... probably best to push the seat all the way back and put the bulk of the tail behind the driver's seat. Either way, forget about a Raharr driving a human car without a bit of McGyvering!
Height, yeah, I get that. Had a number of models dropped from my shortlist when looking for a car to buy as soon as I had an (almost-)sit in them ... not quite a Sitzriese, but not a standard crash test dummy's lookalike, either.
Weeeeeeelllll, things are getting into motion on both ends, apparently. Let's see what happens on the next page ... whether Dan's heading to the woods (to hide from the military and his friends), some similarly deserted but near-ish meeting point (in case he's been contacting another Paranoichan dude in the meantime), or going long distance (in which case I'm looking forward to see him try providing Gharr with some camouflage so that he doesn't have to stay perfectly visible through the transparent vehicle windows).
He'd better be really good with an airbrush / spray gun if he plans to un-whiten the car and de-transparent its windows himself ...
It's the first page after #188 that shows Dan's house. It could be that in-comic, you've had to wait only a couple seconds (the time it took Gharr to step out of Val's and Mark's field of vision).
And Val and Mark, either on foot or riding something ridiculous like a circus bear tricycle, will magically stay ahead of all of them (but probably never catch up).
(Yes, Dan and Gharr are in the very same "white car" the military has been looking for previously, why ... ?)
I hope that Gharr still has his mushroom carbonizer in his pockets, in case that Dan needs to have another look at it ...
You caught me off guard with that one. Now it's stuck in my head. But not as a live event, rather an animated sequence featuring the stick figures that the colonel was using in his early communication attempts.

Azinarsi relationship to death is different from the rest of the civilizations of the Alliance: they do not care about it. Death would mean loss of information and experience gathered by that instance of a person's mind, though, and these two things are about the only valuables for an Uploaded mind, so Azinarsi try to avoid it when possible.

Good lord, what is this idiot up to now?
Next page:
Cop: "Do you have an idea why I pulled you over?"
Dan: "... I'm afraid not, officer ... ?"
Cop: "No? And I suppose you were not headed for the nearest car-pool lane, either?"
Gharr: [best mannequin impression of a still-breathing extraterrestrial ever]
I wonder if Dan "Madness" just mental illness or part of important subplot in story...

Insert cool car chase scene here
"Close friends in the mirror are more objecting than they appear."
it just struck me now....
Wait for it....

ALIEN ABDUCTION !!!
Entire fleet, at once, via ImplantiMessenger: "Boooooooooo!!!"
Oooohh F*** M* ! did NOT see that one coming!
But I am impressed he could squeeze Gharr into the passenger seat..Might be very uncomfortable however with tail and "reverse knees" etc...
That last panel is like "He stole our car....And the Alien!"
My guess is he's in the back row leaning onto the reclined front passenger seat.
And the reverse knees are more his heels.

Ah yes, I was waiting for Dan to do something stupid since page 188.

🎵Dan and Gharr, sitting in a truck, J-O-Y-R-I-D-I-N-G.🎶
I'm imagining this truck being chased by police cars and a spaceship.
And Val and Mark, either on foot or riding something ridiculous like a circus bear tricycle, will magically stay ahead of all of them (but probably never catch up).

Yes! Que "Yackity Sax !"

Nah. Try the "Still-Smokey and the Dandit" theme!
Nah. Benny Hill or Monty Python's Flying Circus (or Blues Brothers escape sequence!)
I"m a fan of the music from Raising Arizona, which has one of the all-time great chase scenes in cinema history. :D
TOO many good ones! I suggest a sequential playlist of them all.
