Re: Suggestion: Adjustable steering wheel

I have it on my 07 Sonata. Nice feature with multiple drivers.

My 1978 Newport has it, and I wish our other vehicles did.

The real George Orwell wrote 1984.... not 1894..

See the Camry. If the Corolla has it I could drive that car as well.

2005 lacross and 2007 G6 both with tilt and telescope wheels power adjustable pedals on many new gm cars

I dunno - what happens when you're driving and your knees push the wheel a little to hard?

You figure, you've got the blackberry/phone/pda in one hand, a burger/ taco/wrap in the other and at least one knee on the wheel. If you push to hard, the wheel might give, thus potentially causing a loss of control

I don't think this is a good idea.

I'm curious - do you all sit in the driver's seat at the same time?

You know, I'm just *waiting* for someone to take you seriously and flame you for this... ;-)

Maximum of three. Well, three if skinny, so no more than one with me.

Yes, but my wife would make me get rid of my '66 Charger kit. I can think of some cars that I'd make that trade for, but not that isn't one of them.

ROTFL!

Believe it or not, I used to actually do that.

I do try and refrain from reading the blackberry while actually moving...

...well faster than 20 mph anyway...

You know, I certainly appreciate that piece of 1960's technology, BUT I think adjustable pedals makes more sense. Both would be ideal. Keeps any driver in the same spot. That's going to be important for some kinds of crash-worthiness, and that's why you're seeing the pedals coming on as an option.

Hold on a second...People in NJ can't talk on there cell phone, but they can type out text messages? Wow...How about an IQ test for people who come up with these kind of laws too...

What's also funny is that we have a law here in California for not talking on the phone while driving. It goes into effect this October.

I can't tell you how often I see a highway patrol or sheriff driving while talking on the cell phone.

Why? Is it a secret?

I'm in Ontario, and as far as I know, there isn't a law in effect at the moment, but they are working on it. I see people on there cell phones (including Officer's) all the time.
