The Subject of this post, may cause you to think "WTF is this douche bag on now?" but wait a moment, and you'll realise i'm actually talking some sense... this time.
Think about how easy it is to steer a car these days, how mostly you can turn your car with one hand, or even just a couple of fingers. Now think what possibilities that opens up for use of your other hand / fingers! Texting, fiddling with your clothes, fiddling with the passengers clothes!! Changing a CD. The possibilities are endless, and if thought about enough, probably worrying.
Now think about whether all those things are possible if you had no power steering? Believe me, they are not. Without power steering you need both hands on the wheel at all times, unless changing gear! Otherwise you will crash, and spectacularly probably. Whilst this may be less fun, and you wont be able to play with your passengers breasts whilst driving - this means that you are concentrating a lot more on actually steering the car, and therefore less accidents will occur. No longer would accidents be caused by people texting / facebooking whilst driving!
A crazy idea?... or some element of truth here!?

Smart battery charger will save you money!
Thanks to the icy mornings this week my 6 year old car battery decided it had finally had enough,and failed to start the car this morning. (cold weather wreaks havoc with older batteries)
My car flicked the headlights on and off in protest, which is a fabulous way of conserving energy for starting the engine. What did Ford think when they designed the car that way? "i know, when the battery is low, lets make the car turn the headlights on and off, wasting valuable volts that could be used to turn the engine over!" Thanks Ford!!
A new battery from Halfords is £120, but it might be able to get it cheaper "somewhere else"
A few years ago i bought a RING - Portable power Powerring Smart Battery Charger. This can not only rapidly charge a battery, but reconditions the battery to provide it longer life,even for deeply discharged batteries! This process can take about 20hrs to complete but it works. I used it on a car battery a few years ago, and that battery lasted a further 6 months before having to be replaced.
So if you want to save some money and get your car working for a bit longer - check it out. I bought mine for about £30 a few years ago: http://www.ringautomotive.co.uk/product_list.asp?cat1=7&cat2=31&cat3=167
