When LTDScott isn't gluing huge porcupine quills to a BMW 325e, he's working behind the parts counter of a steering-parts supplier. That means he sees a fair cross-section of not-so-safe modifications to vehicle steering systems, and he's found a site with some of the scarier ones. Faced with a steering shaft that's a little too short? Well, actually, several inches too short? Hey, that's why they make washers so cheap! Yes, you're sharing the roads with this guy. This and more await you at a website so cool that it's known only by its IP address: [128.83.80.200]
