Thanks Don. And yea it may be illegal. I can assure you I fit the bill of a law breaker... I'm 6ft 3 and weigh 150 lbs... And I wear glasses.
Nothing much. After I finish winding the steering during a u-turn, I will partially release the steering. The steering will spin back to the center by itself at which point, I will grab the steering when I complete the u-turn at the exit of the U-Turn. Kinda like using my palm as a friction pad on the steering wheel rim.

Just wonder how can I grab the steering when it is not fully round any more. May be it just only my driving style that is different.

That makes sense. I see what you mean there. Typically the way I drive is one hand on the 9:30 oclock position and the right hand on the shift ****. When I do a u-turn I typically do it with the butt of my palm then release pressure on the wheel and allow it to correct itself back to center then grab it back on the 9:30 oclock position and continue straight. When I install it on the wifes IS for the next show/meet (I will drive it to the meet/show with the wheel on) I will most likely never release the butt of my palm off the wheel until back at center. I've practiced with the stock OEM steering wheel and I got it down pretty good now

Not particularly my cup of tea, but I like to drive DB style when I'm on the highway.

Guys - this is a family friendly forum. We could have got away with the original pic, but some folks are having issues keeping it family friendly, so the whole series got removed. Let's not make this a trend.
