Although I generally find the S2000 easiest to drive while holding the steering wheel properly, and that hands at 9 and 3 are the most natural, there were several cases while driving through the Southwest when I needed to reapply a little bit of sunscreen and had to take both hands off of the wheel for a few seconds to squeeze some out of the tube. Most of the time I just held the car steady and all was fine.

However, once or twice I needed to make minor course corrections and found that, unlike several other cars that I own, even a half inch correction to the steering wheel has an instant effect when traveling at 70-80 mph. That car movement puts more pressure on the leg trying to steer, causing more steering in the same direction. There was once or twice that the car went into a bit of an oscillation before I grabbed the wheel again. It taught me that I really shouldn't do that unless the car will be going absolutely straight the whole time.

This is more of a word of warning in case any of you try steering with anything other than your hands.

I steer with my knees, I've done this with many of my cars and others cars I've driven. I can change lanes and can make turn as long as there not sharp turns. Most passengers get a little nervous.

 

:lol I race with one knee on the steeringwheel
2 arms behind my head taking a nap :lol

 

Show off!

 

steering with your knees is soo FUN, your passager always gets all scared.. hehe

 

Steering, shifting, messing with the radio, eating, drinking, sometimes you just need to knee it!

It is a really bad habit though...

 

If my wife saw you doing this, she'd probably call you her pet name for me when I do something like this . . . IDIOT!

 

i do it all the time, actually you could say i am a pro, i can turn onto an intersection now, but i dont like to do it in my stook

 

Damn! Give me a road like this any day.

 

Yeah, the knee is the best! How else can you get the top off the JD bottle or light up a big fatty while driving? Actually, I may have a 1200 mile trip coming up to get mine. For now the deal is on with a 2day trip back from WA to sunny San Diego. The part that sucks is that my path goes through a chunk-o-Montana! Nothing like giving a new car the test at 140! I wonder how stable I'll be with my knees then?
