New steering wheel installed

Finally made decision ,wanted something appropriate but a little different than the norm. Of course I'm saving the original. Any opinions? Go ahead ,my skin is thick. But I hope you guys like it. Wayne

Looks nice, but what I am really impressed with is how you either hung the car from the garage ceiling, or stood on your head with you legs and feet sticking through the sunroof, in order to take that picture.

I couldn't get rid of the hideous, OEM steering wheel fast enough, and promptly sold it on eBay for just shy of $300. I figure that if I sell the car, and some blind sap wants to put the OEM wheel back on, then he, too, can buy one on eBay.

I don't think I'm as far away as to be called down under. I've been in Belize C.A. for a couple years. Moving back to NM on May 28th at 12:35 pm. Can you detect my anxiousness to return to the wonderful , glorious USA ? Get this ,try and absorb this. For two years my daily driver has been a 9 hp golf cart. Yes you read that right. No cars allowed on the island we live on. That's communism ,oppression if you ask me. LOL. Can't wait to join the Roadrunners in New Mexico ,go to COTA for the F1. Drive my 930 til the tires fall off and then get some more tires. Will change my address on pelican first thing.

I think he's poking fun of the fact that your picture is upside down

Ok ,I'll make this short. belize has nice weather ,is safe and they speak English . The saltwater fly fishing is second to none. The people are very friendly . But ,it's hot ,I like mountain trout streams much more ,the food is so-so. It's expensive. It's far from friends and family. It was nice for two years ,a great place to vacation and fish. And driving a golf cart is well , driving a golf cart.

That's a nice wheel, discreet and in good taste.

One good thing about Belize is the banking laws. They don't recognize court foreign court judgements.

You know the shiny side goes up right ?
Wheel looks great. I just changed mine out as well. Got a really good deal on an old Protopito
