Sandy beach, complete with the sand fleas, is definitely the more uncomfortable of the two. Especially if the loft has a supply of a second or third cutting broad leaf grass. That stuff can be very soft. Almost as soft as the company one would keep in the loft.

Back seat of a ’61 bug?

Sand gets everywhere and stays everywhere, and the front seat of a ’68 Bug isn’t nearly as comfortable as the back seat of a ’62 Olds.

Or of a ’69 Plymouth Fury III, where during a drive-in showing of Burt Reynolds “Gator” at age 17 and a year or so after the Bug fiasco, my first child was created…

Olsarmourer – comfort was not on our minds when my HS GF and I made use of my Austin Healy Sprite, with the top up!
Later, I would borrow my dad’s AMC Rebel wagon with fold down front seats, turning the back seats into a giant recliner!

I recall the comfort of a ’59 Rambler…

Back seat of a ’69 Eldorado ragtop was cheaper and bigger than a motel room 😉
Just remember that every used car you buy has probably seen some nekkid squirmin’ in the backseat…or the frontseat if they recline. We ‘test drove’ a lot of cars on test drives, not to mention every one we owned.

Any day I’ll take the loft with soft hay, a soft blanket, and a soft woman. It’s guaranteed nothing else will be.
Well there is quite a collection of serviceable/uncomfortable (tiny) cars so I will add mine. One of the last Shelby 350 GT’s out of the Venice Shelby Shop. There was a “door” between the “back seat” and the trunk. Add 2″ foam pad from side to side and taillights to up the back of the front seats.
One of the fast Slow Ride beds around.

As a country boy I’ve used the hay loft a few times for hiding the salami
Dunno which is more uncomfortable — that one, or a sandy beach.

Great artistry!

MG Midget was challenging, but not uncomfortable, not that there was much opportunity to notic… 😉
