Although if you do have powersteering and you lose the power portion it is much worse.

I can't believe they still have cars w/o power steering. My in-laws got a Saturn a year or so ago w/o power steering. I was like WTF? How can you have a car built in the 00's w/o power steering? That's like not having an engine, IMO.

Yea man, rockin the Saturn :roll:. This car has zero amenities/frills, very Spartan, but my dad handed it down to me for cheap back in HS (now a Junior in college) so it's serving its purpose. Plus I get plenty of pity points when people find out about the power steering. On a related note: People wonder why my steering wheel is so gargantuan, I'm guessing, its for leverage. Anyone else have an idea on that?

Yup, "It's all a matter of leverage." There's a big wheel like a city bus on my in-law's car, too. Looks funny when my Mother-in-law drives, she's only 5' and looks like a granny in a 50's Cadillac when she drives.

Turn signals...nobody uses them so why do cars have them?

All the people I deam unworthy of life don't use them.

I used to have a '92 Ford Tempo. It had those stupid motorized seatbelts, however they weren't the worst part. There were two levers that said "Seat Belt release" on them. If you pulled one of them up, it didn't seem to make releasing the seatbelt (the motorized part, not the lap belt) any easier. However, it did flash a red light, beep like the door was open, and it said "push seat belt release lever down". Worthless.

I love the design of that car... they put some thought into it:

The grille from a roller, the steps of a huge pick-up truck, the spoiler and air intake of a dragster/sports car and the fins of a classic caddy... Really made me laugh!

If it is a bottle, just put the cap back on and toss it on the passengers seat.
