I also checked back here to see if anyone had the answer after my own bitter disappointment with google. Then it dawned on me that maybe no one knows "automobile position" because who the fuck says "automobile"?

Google "car sex position" and … voila (NSFW!).

Take your pick. My guess -based on a careful deconstruction of the text, taking into account anatomical details such as mammary-facial contact and the portrayal of Wanda as a sexual Yoda – is that they are in the front seat with her on top.

I think we should call Ben Stein and ask him for a definitive answer.

No, SERIOUSLY, I need to know what the Automobile Position is. Can gays do it? Have I been missing out? If you google "automobile position sex" the first result is... this blog post. There's also this. Which doesn't help. I must know!

Does that mean it's "all wet down there"?

Can I suggest another book to review? It isn't vice-presidential, but it does fit in with the theme of 'pulp fiction written by Nixon associates.' The book is The Coven, by David St. John, which happens to be one of the pen names of E. Howard Hunt, famed Watergate burglar and all-around unpleasant dude.

Here's a synopsis, gleaned from Rick Perlstein's wonderful Nixonland: Some jazz musicians are murdered, and Jonathan P. Gault, hard-boiled detective, in on the case. The trail, detouring through hippie communes and government funded 'Community Involvement Centers', eventually leads to Senator Newborn Vane (D-Mass?). SPOILER ALERT: Senator Vane is a devil-worshipper.

The "automobile position" is a hybrid that involves the complicated maneuver of draining the oil and "Hollywooding" the muffler simultaneously.

Not surprisingly, most men in this pantywaist era lack the necessary tools to perform it, and have taken to substituting the technique with the "Used Car Purchase," which simply involves bending over a desk with a pen in hand.

God, I remember books from the '70s in my parents' waterbed-bookshelf. It truly was a strange/tacky time in publishing.

I remember an illustrated (!) 'Last of the Mohicans' and thinking the Native American dudes were all hot.
