A steering wheel (also called a driving wheel or hand wheel[citation needed]) is a type of steering control in vehicles and vessels (ships and boats).
Steering wheels are used in most modern land vehicles, including all mass-production automobiles as well as light and heavy trucks. The steering wheel is the part of the steering system that is manipulated by the driver; the rest of the steering system responds to such driver inputs. This can be through direct mechanical contact as in recirculating ball or rack and pinion steering gears, without or with the assistance of hydraulic power steering, HPS, or as in some modern production cars with the assistance of computer controlled motors, known as Electric Power Steering. With the introduction of federal vehicle regulation in the United States in 1968, FMVSS 114 required the impairment of steering wheel rotation (or transmission locked in "park") to hinder motor vehicle theft; in most vehicles this is accomplished when the ignition key is removed from the ignition lock. See steering lock. |

Trust me, it is funnier in your head than it is in person. I tried it and regretted using my "outside voice" on the forum. At least my post is gone now so I don't have to be reminded of my failed humor. Alas, this one will go away as well. I get WHY you posted this I just wish I could have warned ya first.

Makes you want to get out...
Seriously, the E39 forum was very helpful, if I was threatened with a gun to my head to say to which extent it was, I would say about 90 % of the posts were about helpful issues...which is way more than I can say from this E90 forum with posts like these. Isn´t there a way to filter these crappy posts? Because they are the kind of crap I haven´t been watching this forum for a while and motivate you to leave...damn.
