Well it could be a major distraction. What do you do for leg cramps while driving I wonder? A driving experience I missed in my younger days. .

In my day it was more of asking if they wanted to get in the back seat with the car immobile. Fortunately no girl said no I would rather be with you.

Larger back seat areas are a loss to the current generation. Where there is a will there is a way still. At least most bucket seats recline today. The bench seats of my time did not except for nash products that folded down into a bed.

Well You could never beat the old bench seats. In my 53 caddy I could lay out flat with no trouble.

Buicks of the late 40s even with their thick doors were similar. The only Cadillac I ever owned was a 1954 Fleetwood. It was decent on gas milage as well for the times.

Of course there is no way to authenticate. You have to take many things with a grain of salt so to speak. Common sense indicates you could not get an honest reponse when poling this sort of thing anyways.

I would not be surprised if it was just a number pulled out of the writers head. If not than I too am one of the 85 percent.

Well it is early Christmas morning. The wife will have me up early so better go get tucked in. I see the dogs have already retired for the night.

May Christmas go well for all members of this forum and their families Is my personal wish..

We are happy just to see the people gather at our place both at Christmas and especially the large crowd for new years dinner.

They must enjoy the occasion as they without fail show up year after year. Some years in horrible weather conditions even. I like to see the home full of happy people. That is what makes the time of year for me and I expect the wife.

Although it is a lot of additional work for her. She does not seem to mind. I also reflect on how good a wife, friend and companion she has been over all these years. Especially at this time of the year.

I really feel I lucked out in life in many ways and am very thankful for that. I may not be that smart but far from stupid about how lucky we have been as a couple overall. If the wife is happy I am. It could just as easily been different.

Again happy Christmas everyone and the best wishes to all of you.

The thread title is misleading. The poll asks if you have ever had sex while driving and 15% said yes. The thread title makes it sound like 15% of all drivers are having sex while driving. You've never fingered your GF while she was driving or had a smoothie while driving yourself?

I shave with my rechargeable shaver all the time. You can tell by sound in you're mowing new ground and then touch up in the mirror when stopped. I also floss my teeth sometimes. I'm a good knee steerer on the highway.
