The only time you would really "struggle" with turning with no power steering car would be in a parking lot, you will never struggle with turning anything at freeway speed.
I would have to guess it depends on the vehicle. My old truck (older than I am by decades) is a beast to steer when parking in a tight space, but even at just a slight speed increase the resistance lowers enough that I have no trouble with it. But parking is a bitch.
And the parent to your post was also correct. For vehicles where power steering was optional, the power steering also featured a 'quicker' gear ratio, IOW, one with less mechanical advantage, but fewer turns lock to lock.
* Side note: Stop putting half a sentence in the damned heading and finish it in the body. It's bloody annoying to quote.
How about you piss off or else learn to deal with norms that existed on this site long before you stopped posting AC?
The remainder of your post... In an ideal world, that would be the case. But if you'd ever been through the court system, you'd know that nothing is settled and most judges are woefully unable to handle anything with a technical bent, including technicalities of law.
SUV is "huge" by definition. One is not needed at all if you're just transporting people around. Even if you want luxury, there are better cars for the money, and they happen to be much greener, as well.
Neither the CJ-5, Scout I, nor Samurai were 'huge', yet all are/were SUVs. I'm going to ignore the remainder of your rant, as I only commented on your inaccurate use of the adjective 'huge'.
The other reason to use ethanol is that, IIRC, it has less energy than octane. Ethanol is used in high power (racing) applications for a few reasons, including some related to this. In addition to pre-ignition resistance, the cooler temperature prevents the head and exhaust valves from heating up (throwing off tight clearances as well as increasing pre-igition), is less dangerous in the event of a catastrophe (although the flames are harder to see), blocks and stress parts can be lightened considerably (no need for massive amounts of metal to dissipate heat that isn't generated), cooling systems can be smaller than for a gasoline engine of similar output, etc.
Now, again, IIRC, one problem with ethanol, particularly in cooler climates is a lack of waste heat for creature comforts, and a correspondingly longer time to heat engine parts and lubricants to ideal operating temps.
Yes, he should have done something moral like working as a defense contractor.
Hardly - he would have never passed the background check.
"Sargeant, you got a lot a damn gall to ask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'm sittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench 'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough to join the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug."
Thank you for saving me the effort of finding the link.
We can argue whether slashdot is shilling for Apple this week, if there are more M$ turfers here now than in the past, and so forth. But the one thing I've really noticed is how many apologists for the legal community have shown up here over the years who have desperately tried to get the citizens of the US to throw away our rights.
The legal meaning of a word is whatever the electorate and the jury decide. No amount of idiocy by lawyers can change this unless our government is no longer of, by, and for the people.

Yes, you've hit the nail on the head regarding front drive.
Reading about automotive issues on slashdot is particularly painful since so many people are so ill informed.

Suicide knob FTW!

It is not an either/or situation.
Don't forget that your non-power steering car was most likely not front wheel and or a helluva lot lighter.

And if not, just get the neighborhood kids to come by and pull your finger to jump start the feed again.
It's not the private servers that would be a problem. It's new for pay servers that would be a drag to Blizzard.
How about the fact that he had two planes?

Didn't forget, made an editorial decision to just take Arlo's lines.
Correct on the AMA reference, but I think the term is much older than that.
Aren't they safe if they do it standing up?
You are number 2.
Those SUVs are 'huge'? Yeah, and you're packing nine inches...
We are trying to create Rommie from Andromeda - hubba hubba!
They've already got the important bit figured out.
How about climbing out of your Star Wars bed, in your Star Wars themed basement, and going outside? Without the Darth Vader mask! ;)
But you'll die without your mask!

Can I at least keep my Everlasting Gobstopper?

Here, let me save you lawyers the effort. Shakespeare was NOT speaking in favor of lawyers.

Tell you what, you can have the Vulcan side kick, I want the green skinned chick in the miniskirt.
All the other jokes I've read were old hat, but this is new to me. Good job!
Wow, one person with a 7 digit uid telling another with a 7 digit id "how we do things 'round here".
The question for you and me is: do you want to be the brute?
If the check doesn't bounce, hell yeah!
