Are you an expert at making your car go where you point it?

No

No, the damned thing won't automatically turn into the Baskin-Robbins and instead veers over to the "Health" food stores. Gonna have to get that fixed!

Plus, when I turn on the turn signal, no matter how long I leave it on, the car won't go in the indicated direction. Must be something wrong with it.

Does anyone else have this problem? While making random lane changes, I look into that reflectie thingie mounted on the glass bug shield and I see a picture of some grizzled old fart. I don't remember the picture being there when I first started driving so is this something which automatically adds itself as a reminder for driver's license renewal?

I'm still making the change over from tiller steering (we drive used cars), so yes.

I can consistently hit beer cans in the street. Littering is popular, trash is plentiful.

In a low enough gear, I can steer with the accelerator. RWD FTMFW!

I can drive with my wiener. I've got a huge





steering wheel.

I recall reading that Ford was testing a replacement for the steering wheel around 1965. Instead of one large wheel, they had developed a system that consisted of two much smaller wheels which contained thumbholes, one wheel for each hand. It was connected by a pair of chains to the steering shaft, which was attached to a very quick-ratio steering box, which made full angulation of the front wheels no more than a wrist flick away. That would have made for an interesting experience if the driver sneezed...
