   Thomas,
   How pathetic. Somebody installed power steering (which is lame in any
   event) and then the power steering prevents actual STEERING?
   That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.
   I can't believe steering lock would be so restrictive that he couldn't
   negotiate the pass. If so, that would be a dangerous car.
