That is only a problem if you have noodle arms, or if you a girl.
I had one without PS , and I liked the direct steering rack.

At worst theres a bit more exercise when parking.. But its really not a problem for a normal man.

It may be different, but I didn't mind the lack of P/S in my old '88 911. It may have had less weight over the front tires, and maybe narrower tires.

But, if Glen posts 4 pics and someone quotes it, then we have to scroll through the same pics again.

And if that happens twice on the same page,

Fingers get tired of the scroll, yo.

Thank you.


And now for something completely different...

A hoard of Roman nails found at Inchtuthil, Perth and Kinross, Scotland, circa 87 AD. After the Roman army abandoned their forward fortification on the site they buried 875,400 iron nails on the site to prevent the enemy Caledonian tribes reforging the iron for weapons.

But that doesn't make this picture any less hilarious.

Schadenfreude in action.

"Good brakes,” Bob mused, casually lighting a cigarette, “and certainly great tires.”

Feel sorry for the peeps, but yeah, as long as it's not you, your truck or your boat, pretty funny.

MANIAC (Mathematical Analyzer Numerical Integrator And Computer). Programmer, operator, and problem analyst Lois Cook-Leurgan examines the main arithmetic unit of the 40-bit IAS type digital computer. This 35 kW, 450 kg, 2400 tube machine played an important part in thermonuclear implosion radiation hydrodynamic calculations of Operation Ivy Mike, the first hydrogen bomb, it was the main reason for building a computer onsite at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in New Mexico 1952. The lab had a software team of 10 mathematicians and physicists, about half of whom were former female human computers like Mary Tsingou, Verna Ellingson, Elaine Felix, and Marjory Jones. Although most of its time was spent on classified problems, the MANIAC found many unclassified applications. The scientist and programmer Mary Tsingou-Menzel created and wrote the program for the world’s first experiment conducted entirely on a computer, the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou Problem (FPUT) after its creators, the idea was to simulate the 1D analog of atoms in a crystal: a long chain of masses linked by linear springs but with a weak nonlinear term, it was an early step in the development of chaos theory.
