I agree, but all the black people I know DO eat chicken. So do all of the while and yellow people I know.

Left hand on the cell phone;
Right hand on the shifter;
Steer with the knees while steering with the knees;
What's all this crap about 1, 2, 3, o'clock?

When I'm curising on the highway my hands are apt to be anywhere. It's so dangerous that I've been killed in accidents several times, but I'm too stubborn to give it up.

Too much worry over small potatoes.
(Or should I say small chickens?)
Eating chicken wing while driving? Knee controlling steering? Shifting at the same time? done it before

I find myself doing that very often as well. Have you thought about getting an integrated bluetooth system for your car (maybe one that comes with the navi). I've been seriously looking into this, but can't decide which one I want. I'd really like to have a navi that's portable, but integrated is so much better. I'd love to buy the new Sony hand held compie and fab a bracket inside the navi cut out to hook up and take out whenever.

7 and 5 works great for me at street and freeway. 9 and 3 for track.
I can rest my arm on top of my leg at 7 and 5, gives really good support when the road is very bumpy at high speed.

This is funny. My daughter just opened a piece of Bazooka Joe gum, and there was a joke about hands on the steering wheel on the wrapper.

I was taught to hold the wheel at 10 and 2, but I hold it at 9:45 and 2:15 so I have an extra half hour to get where I'm going.

LMAO.

I'll try that tomorrow when I take the car in for a service.

Yea, you can leave 15 minutes late and still arrive 15 minutes early.
I guess I'd use the extra 30 minutes for some additional shut-eye.
