Well it was designed w/ powersteering in mind. Those steering wheels are made of almost nothing. The do that so incase your head meets the steering wheel in a head on collision you'll be glad it was such a piece of ****.

That is true! You are so right bro. I would have been thanking the lawd for sure, as well as GM. But still, it's not like I was jerking it with such force that it should have broke.

That is the shift boot from www.afterthoughtsauto.com

I will get some black duct tape tomorrow. I promise.

That probably adds 25 horsepower. 1 for each inch of duct tape that I used.

Yeah, I feel bad too but I couldn't help but laugh as well. Good luck with the repair (or tape).

I think it's time for an aftermarket steering wheel. Those pics are too funny.

*heh* That is pretty funny. Thankfully you weren't cruisin' through traffic when it broke, it could've been not so funny. Glad you're alright.

I'm gonna completely redo the whole wheel with black tape this afternoon. That will hold until I get a new one.
