Do you hold the steering wheel with 1 hand or 2 when driving?

    True indeed. I have had those steer blowouts twice. Praise God. I was able to keep it upright and didn't have to change my underwear :D:D. I use left mainly but will switch to right and sometimes two hands just to change things up. Definitely I use the seatbelt as well

    What makes you think Goodyear, Michelin etc never blow out? Mine was a Bridgestone.

    1 or 2 nowadays in my younger days it was sometimes none when you found out the coop was open . Long legs were a blessing.

    Two for me but it's because my fancy new plastic truck has all kinds of steering wheel buttons and I use em.

    I do believe my truck has 18 buttons on the wheel plus two toggles. Madness, but I like it.

    Someone resurrected a 10-year-old thread of his the other day. You literally could tell no difference from a current one based on tone and cluelessness.
