It looks like steering a wheelchair.

Doesn't seem ergonomic. Besides whats going to bust your teeth before you hit the windshield?

i wonder how much his proctologist would like to charge to remove that contraption from his posterior after the accident ...

what seemed like a great idea at the time would, IMHO, fall down completely if and when the engine stalled, losing the power assist it needed to operate. there was no direct steering as there is in any conventional steering car, to leave at least some measure of directional control in that case. for this same reason i have never accepted the uni-stick controls favored by Ed Roth and others for show cars.
