Thread starter's take on a topic, whether they want a serious discussion out of it, hence the 'no spam' tag, or they want to poke fun at it, using the 'spam on topic' tag.

Me? I can't be bothered to use either of them.

Say you're in a thread about favorite makes and models of cars with the phrase, "spam on topic." DW brings up the importance of having sex in cars. C Elegans interrupts to suggest the way various endorphins affect both driving and sex. Loki discusses how he enjoys watching cars being wrecked. Bloodstalker says that having sex in a car being wrecked is generally a bad idea.

On the other hand, if a thread about favorite makes and models of cars has "no spam" on it, the thread will only contain posts about favorite makes and models of cars. Sad, really, because cars are pretty dull.

......You've been around this place way to long when you actually have the course of a thread mapped out before it's even started. And it's accurate too.

Thanks.

Remind me not to make a thread about cars.

If you add neither tag, we invoke the Right of Geller. That is, to spoon-bend a thread in any direction we damn well please.

Couldn't agree more. That's why he has the uranium core cane innit?

Agree with the first part...
But, I'm not at all sure about the accuracy bit.... There's no way I'd be waxing eloquent about sex in cars...
Sex on the beach maybe.. but definitely not cars

What about sex in a convertible at the beach?

That is why I don't visit this place as often as I used to, because of bad influence. Very bad indeed.

And hello to everyone.

Hey, Minerva. Good to see you!

Hello, fable. I am surprised to see you here at this moment. I expected you to be trotting off to the new world of Dragon Age. I actually came GB to see the reaction for it from members here, in order to decide whether I should order it now or wait for a few patches.

As for your question regarding sex in a convertible at the beach, I strongly against it; too wet, too windy, and too cold.

Busy commuting between the board and a classical CD review I'm currently writing.

Right, so one vote against sex on the beach in a convertible at night. No comment yet on daytime horizontal calisthenics.

Greetings to you Minerva, it's been a while. Hope you are well

Now.. as to the question at hand, it really depends on the location and personal preference I suppose.
That being said, if the outside temperatures are warm...wet, windy and cold are not really a problem..
However, skip the convertible.. Apart from teens who lack choices, I don't see any attraction to sex in a car, convertible or otherwise.. unless you're talking a van or something (which is just tacky) it's cramped and uncomfortable.

Watch the tacky comments. Some of us have owned vans in the past.
