Alternates between 9-3 and right hand @ 12/left hand out the window. I drive a failmatic, but when I start driving standard again, I'll like do most steering with my left and leave my right resting on the shifter.

Edit: Oh yea, I just slouch a little, no leaning at all

Right index finger (or thumb)through that little steering hole at 4, fingers firm but not tight. Left hand free. Relaxed, gives plenty of time to do a short pass or wide arc for a complete turn. The 9-3 or 10-2 is too fatiguing for me and won't necessarily give you the best feel for handling in 99% of those supposed emergency cases ( in extreme slippery roads, a 4wheel drive will do better than anything you can do regardless of hand position or driver skill). 4 o'clock rules!
