What do you have planned for a Steering wheel? I'm picturing a traditional style but a little smaller in Diameter and a thicker grip, made out of some exotic hardwood and a raised solid gold "K" logo on Stainless for a center cap. Get Sandwich a hunk of Burl and some gold bullion, Stat!

Hoofa, you really should be nicer. When you challenge David and the boys, they take it seriously. This makes their lives much more difficult because they feel obliged to rise to the challenge and expend whatever energy and resources might be necessary to meet the challenge and, probably, go one better. So, they end up pulling a lot of OT, their wives get mad at them, etc. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I have a feeling that they are way past that point...

That's why we use them. They are a special battery they developed for military use. They save a good chunk of weight, don't leak, and are easy to package as they are so small.

We do take all challenges seriously...we have committed ourselves to a far greater challenge on this car that we haven't yet spoken about...

The steering wheel will be tan leather to match the seats. Our customer doesn't like wood steering wheels.

I did, however, want to make a really nice steering wheel out of bird's eye maple. I really like that wood. My night stands are made out of it and our customer likes it too.

The raised gold may be gilding the lily a bit.
