    And to think a few months ago I was tempted to put one in my car, until I was warned to avoid them like the plague. :burnout:
    The picture made me laugh thanks! :D

    I seen this as I was on the bike at the gym and laughed... Now i look stupider than I did before... But it gave me a laugh cause it's so true and it has every reason why I want to switch to manual

    I don't see anything humorous in this picture.

    It is all 100% true and accurate description of the parts.

    The only part you failed to make note of is the header obstruction. Otherwise very accurate and yes a good chuckle!

    Oh man so funny and sad. This is why I love my manual comet so much more than my power "steering" comet.

    Yes, but you have what everybody wants...:rolleyes:

    ...well everybody that doesn't want to convert the entire front end or spend a small fortune for rack and pinion or deal with manual steering...

    Grow some manly arms and you won't even notice the power steering.
