How do you make out in the front seat of a car?

[rjordan]

When I was a kid you would take a date up to a place with a nice view, she would slide across the seat, you would cuddle a bit and make out. Or at the end of a date you would steam up the windows of your car before taking her to her door.
I am starting to write a story and was going to have a scene in the front seat of the car when I realized that every car I have seen for the last 20 years has bucket seats with a gear shift in between... Do kids even make out in the front seat anymore, and if so how?

Lots of creative possibilities were offered. But putting them in a pickup is the easiest solution.

Bench seat, gearshift on the steering column. Tilt steering wheel. As much room as a Motel 6. The scene is about "sex in the front seat", not "50 shades of automotive sex with examples".

Last time I had to address this question (i.e. when I still lived with my parents), I think the answer was "reach across and work around".

My best vehicle was a 1930s limousine with a glass partition between the driver's compartment and the back. There was a blind that could be pulled down to cover the glass, and more blinds on the windows in the back. The occasional seats could be positioned next to the back seat to give an almost double bed size area, and the sheepskin rugs made a great surface. The downside? The cleaning bills for the rugs.

Now that's a story just begging to be written.

Yeah, being tall would complicate things almost as much as being hefty. Thankfully, I keep my 210 lbs. fairly compact, and at 5'9" I'm no one's giant.

When it comes to a story, though, unless such statistics are actually listed (and why would they be?), I doubt readers would worry about the mechanics.

Oh, we're still talking stories? I was thinking reality

You're pretty stocky I never worked out for size, good thing because I don't think I could do it naturally and I won't take anything, I'm just toned, come from the 'speed kills" school of thought.

Sounds better than"scrawny"

Thanks for Fascinating Aida.

I have seen them perform that live several times.

My first back seat encounter in my first car was awkward. I was six feet two and 250 lbs; she was about an inch shorter in her bare feet and 210 lbs.

Mutual enthusiasm and willingness got past the difficulties. "Where there's a will, there's a way."

I thought you'd be familiar with them These words just reminded me of your comments about cleaning the sheepskin:

Thank god for plastic sheeting - well, one must protect the seating.
'Cos the fabric takes a beating when you're dogging.

Lapping only needs the passenger side. Most cars have enough knee and head room.

Existed

In the sixties there was always someone who knew someone who was related to someone who had an old hearse, which of course had a huge backseat equipped with a mattress.

Even better were the stories of a type of car, I think it was a Rambler, That had a front seat that could flop back to horizontal and line up with the back seat, making a bed. I've heard it called a passion-mobile, but don't know if it really existed.

It sure did exist. My grandfather owned one.

So first you blew him, then you blew the engine?

Oral sex....you're doing it wrong

I've had no complaints since then, honeybunch! I'm a believer in practice makes perfect in all (most?) things.

Have the girl be the driver and have the guy pull her over to his seat. She can be in his lap in that case and the sex would be a lot easier. If that doesn't fit your story then I agree with the other people who have already suggested the back seat. If the vehicle being driven is a mini van, that could even solve some problems when it comes to leg room.

At one point I matched Stallone's build in Rocky II, but with a few extra pounds in all the right places But he's a little shorter than I am. I've never been fat, but I believe my body type is best described as endomorphic, because I have a relatively broad skeleton. I couldn't be considered skinny even if I went on a starvation diet for a month.

My first back seat encounter in my first car was awkward. I was six feet two and 250 lbs; she was about an inch shorter in her bare feet and 210 lbs.

The cars you were in back then are markedly different than the average vehicle today. Try maneuvering around inside a Prius; it takes some work, and you might have to pop open a door just to get a leg out to get some traction.

I do agree, however, that mutual enthusiasm goes a long way. Perhaps not every coital option is available in a car, but there are certainly ways for just about anyone to get off.

It was a Nash, but not a Rambler. Maybe it was a Nash Ambassador and, yes, they did exist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_Ambassador

1949-1951[edit]

Nash continued to use the Ambassador name on its plushest models from 1949 to 1957. Nash-Kelvinator president George Mason was an outspoken supporter of aerodynamics in car design, and the post war Ambassador is best remembered for its enclosed front wheels. When Nash rolled out its Airflyte body style, Ambassador sales enjoyed a significant gain by selling just four door and two door sedans in the 1949-1951 market place. The Airflytes also featured fully reclining seats that could turn the car into a vehicle capable of sleeping three adults, however this would also earn the dubious distinction of being the make-out automobile of choice for teenagers coming of age in the 1950s. The 1950 Ambassador became the first non-General Motors automobiles to be equipped with GM's Hydramatic automatic transmissions (cars with the automatic transmission has Selecto-lift starting, where the diver pulled the transmission lever on the column toward themselves to engage the starter).[15] 1949 was the first year for a one-piece curved windshield, and front door wing windows featured curved glass as well.[16]

The Nash aambassador was the tiny car that could become a camper. But Yes, the Ramblers of the 60's also had seas that folded flat. I used to own two of them. I got so pissed when Iacocca borrowed the money from the government to put American Motors out of business, steal theJeep and Eagle, and destroy the town of Kenosha Wisconsin'

As for today's cars, it depends on what you mean by "today" I have a 97 Mercury Grand Marquis and my wife has a 98 Buick Park avenue, both would be plenty big enough to fuck in, if we were a bit more agile.

However, if your characters are young and agile enough, first of all, forget about the driver's seat. Once you are both hot, slide over to the passenger seat, on eon top, one below, it could work. Make it a convertible and it really works.

Or make the cars older. My 97 still runs beautifully as good old American cars used to.

You'd better set the story in the years of your childhood, then.
Bench seats (in the UK) went out a lo o o ng g time ago.
