Life is kinda meh right now for me. Job stuff, possible new job soon with way different compensation, comp model and duties, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! but I was pondering things and came up with a question for all of you. How many different kinds of seats do you own in your cars?

I am going to say 3 for me. Upright seats in CX-3, bench seat in the truck and Recaro bucket seats in the ST.

DISCUSSION (18)

You forgot the back seats!

We have five bucket seats, two bench seats and a 1 3/4 seat spread across three vehicles plus two bucket seats with suspension bases in storage.

To be fair, I have a CX-3 and Fiesta. Back seats are purely theoretical. If nobody can fit/sit, are they really seats?

Here’s some live-action Winnie-the-Pooh images to cheer you up.

Kinja'd!!!

Fixed back racing seats in the Miata, and... Oh. Wait. There’s only one car now. Huh.... Well... I’ve had nine different seats in my two seat convertible since buying it. That’s gotta count for something.

I think that totally counts

Mustang: front buckets, rear bench
Sierra: bench

I’m not sure I understand the difference between bucket and “upright” seats, but you’ve got me curious as to just how many types of seats there are out there .

I acknowledge they are similar, but it's the seating position. Upright, you have a level butt and legs with a straight back. The recaros, your butt is lower than. Your knees. It slopes downwards. Way, way more bolstering too

I would have to assume “way different” means “more” here...

If they come standard with seatbelts and child seat mounts then yes they are seats. Even if only a chihuahua could enjoy them...

Yep. Indecision! Or a compulsive desire for something perfect where perfection is inadequately defined.

I just want something super comfortable for long trips, that works with a six point harness, provides a ton of bolstering, is robust with hard-wearing fabric/stitching, not leather, looks great and cheap. Oh and it has to be red.

Is that so much to ask.

(p. s. C an I get that cooled, too?)
