Steering Rack

For those of you who have never had the privilege of driving a car without power steering - you're not missing much. It happened to my beloved VW last week sometime and came to a head on Cinco de Mayo. Something as simple as making a right hand turn became an all out arm wrestling match with a 2000lbs of steel - it's funny what you take for granted. Exercised home last night to switch cars with my brother-in-law and now I'm driving the polar opposite of a hatchback - a Ford Expedition with the added bonus of a super real time gas gauge that I can see decrease as I'm driving to the end of my driveway. Oh well - I'm going to be using it for a while to lug all my CF equipment to and from the park until I get my box set up. Hess is going to see an increase in business from me - even though it doesn't matter where you get fuel.
