Ouch! Yeah, no power steering on a vehicle that should have it is not good! My Metro doesn't have PS, but my "stupid" moment was pulling into my parking spot while coasting. I shut of my engine, but instead of just being in ACC I turned the ignition all the way to LOCK and pulled out my key! My brain was really somewhere else.

Needless to say my steering locked and I had to brake to a sudden halt to remedy the situation...

95Metro what's that picture of in your avatar? Is that a super stealth FE enhancement to create more back pressure?

Yeah that I have done in the Geo also - pulling the key is the problem - had you just turned it off you would have been ok. Simular problem when pushing the car a little when off and the wheel is not locked yet... you turn it then CLICK then you have to find the key and put it in.

Guess I just need to figure out how to get to the .1gph burn rate on the engine when it is in neutral and idling and keep it running - not too crazy about shutting it off anyway with the instruments and abs and all.
