Rep Power: 0 Free Workout - Drive Without Power Steering
This might be for auto only, but
1. go to a hill.
2. turn off your car
3. force it into neutral
4. try steering
I'm just bored.

Rep Power: 0 Believe it or not, you can still get cars in Mexico without power steering. My last car without power steering was a 94 VW Beetle. You do get used after a couple of days.
The cheapest cars (Opel Corsas, Hyundai Atos, Beetles, Ford Ka) offer power steering as an option.
But to be honest the hardest steering I´ve seen was in an old 80-85 datsun that belong to my Grandmother. It was amazing she drove that cracker.

Rep Power: 0 the only things i'd give up my power steering for would be either a k20 swap, which i can't afford, or a massive turbo, which i can't afford. so i'll be sticking with my power steering.

Rep Power: 0 Typically cars that are made without power stearing have a different gearing the wheel itself to make it not as hard to steer, it's especially this way with trucks, older suburbans had like 4 or 5 revolutions of the wheel before it would stop turning, while now they have much less because of power steering. Anyway, so if you have a car that does have power steering and then it goes out, it will be harder to turn then a car that is ment to be without power stearing.

Rep Power: 0 I actually like the way my car handles w/o power steering. Control is more precise and there is absolutely no wasted left and right motion in getting the wheels pointed where i want them. Sure - parallel parking can sometimes be a pain, but oh well.
My company's Christmas party was at this nice club where they have mandatory valet parking (I try to never valet my car unless I have to). When my date and I came back to pick up my car, the valet was like, "Hey man your car is pretty nice - but PLEASE FIX THE POWER STEERING!"

Rep Power: 0 I have a friend that drives a tacoma pickup that doesn't have power steering. It's not bad really. It's only a pain when not in motion. It does give nice feel and control of da road.
I always made fun of him backing up when leaving the gym because his arms would be fatigued and he'd whine like a baby backing out.
