yeah, dont forget to take the wheels, engine, seats shifter **** tranny etc....never know who might "****** 'em"


thats gotta be about one of the poorer excuses just to have a racing steering wheel....like i guess u could say "i just want one" and that a good enough reason...but trying to say its gonna like keep thieves from breaking into your car and unbolting and unwiring your steering wheel just to take it.......come on...whos gonna sit there spending the time to remove a steering wheel...why wouldnt they jsut steal the whole damn car if they are going to break in?


and can u imagine going into a store or somones house or something with a steering wheel like its no biggy....like its your keys or jacket or something? hahahahaha

less likely to steal the car, comeon, not Every car thief has a truck and 3 guys to break in release the break and roll it into the truck. take the steering wheel, the guy breaks in, he can hotwire it ad start it, but cant steer

Nah, the biggest advantage for a removable steering wheel would be for tall or fat guys who can't swing into the seat with the fixed wheel in the way. The other answer would be to have a tilt steering wheel, and has been done on a lot of old Mustangs for that very reason. Even getting a smaller aftermarket wheel will help that situation, but makes turning the wheel without powersteering a bitch.

yeah get a tilt column before u get a friggin' nascar setup....those are a cool feature to have on your car.

might as well put huge drag tires on it, a roll cage, a ratcheting shifter and a huge confederate flag welded to the roof to top it off and wreck another classic mustang. gut the interior too. dont forget the trucker hat reading "wine-em, dine-em, 69-em!!!" and the "cool" decals like "cowboy-up" and some other sponsor stickers all over the car. cut off the mufflers, add a blower through a crudely cut hole in the hood and a pair of shackles to raise the back end up a good foot or so, a spool and a few guages that u jimmy-rigged into the electical system...and walk around shouting "I tell youuuu whuuuuttt!" a lot, like you had tourettes...you will be one cool dude.

your question is echoed right here........if your parking your car in an area where they do....chances are, you and your car have no buisness being there to begin with and you have got bigger fish to fry....such as someone just walking up to you in broad daylight and kindly asking for your steering wheel while they hold a gun to your head....
