Unmost? Really? It really is a bit early in the day unless you?re still pissed from New Year?

It might surprise you to learn that there are disabled people who are still able to drive by using one of these!

Mandatory accessory when I was in high school and cars had bench seats. The fabulous "neckerknob". Steer with one arm, cuddle with the other.

Rob- I started to say that you were "dating yourself", than remembered what I did in high school. I dated myself. :(
Made up for it in later years though. :lol:

This has a different connotation in England!

Ahhh, the differences in language. Sounds like a very long thread if one starts comparing the various uses. In this reference, one would drive to a secluded place with your girl, and neck, watch the submarine races, etc. The "brody" knob, the forerunner of drifting, allowed you to steer and cuddle going out and back. With any luck, you could get her to shift the three on the tree. If stopped by the authorities, their first question was usually, "Whose driving?"

I have actually seen one of these on an Elan used for car park auto tests. it makes it easy to quickly twirl the wheel from lock to lock. As the Elan handbrake is not great for auto tests you need all the help you can get!
