Now the only thing she yells at me for is if I hit the accelerator even halfway without giving her a heads up because her head hits the headrest so hard it gives her a headache and when I say she yells at me it’s not joking, she’s genuinely pissed.

saw an article about yokes wearing out super fast. so maybe the reason to get the wheel is because the yoke is garbage quality. or wait, maybe because of the way it REQUIRES people to use it, it causes premature wear.

If it happens to me and it’s not covered under warranty I would buy an aftermarket yoke and hope it’s better quality. After seeing some pics on the forums I’m trying to be careful but I really shouldn’t have to.

i wouldn't be surprised if many plaid owners drive the car with a death grip on the yoke when using all that power.
