Come on, we’ve all seen a recovery truck and thought about it.

This dude just let those thoughts win 😅

Saw this and thought the algorithms were recirculating an April fool I’d missed- but no it’s an actual product……

And as this is exactly the kinda shizzle he’d be involved in, I declare this to be Nef spotted whilst on vacation in the USA 8-)

Come on, admit it, there's a little bit of redneck hiding inside all of us :lol:

I’d rather fit a normal wheel personally, but the yoke doesn’t seems to get much love.

F1 wheels work because you never take your hand off it. Without having a steering rack that’s full lock f1 style after only half a turn of the wheel it’s a bit stupid, removes a huge amount of control- wonder how many accidents are caused (or near misses saved by electronic systems) by someone reaching for a bit of steering wheel that’s not there

Removing the gear selector and two thirds of the steering wheel was always a bit odd. Have there been many cases of the car going backwards when you wanted to go forwards yet?

Lexus took Tesla’s yoke and tried to make it better by completely disconnecting the rack from the car and making it a steer by wire system with infinitely adjustable steering ratios which change all the time so you never have to turn the wheel more than one rotation (so the same as a force feedback gaming wheel but also worse).

I remember when BMWs had something similar but just for low speed parking/manoeuvres but even that was judged crap.
