Re: 87 rocco 16V PS on 83 GTI?

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

Ummm just wondering... WHY would you WANT power steering? It decreases road feel,
adds weight and just generally takes away from the sporting character of the car,
IMHO. I view power steering like I view AC and electric windows... but of course,
that's just ME. Some people like to make their life easier... stupid people...
all of us SANE people like to inflict pain and suffering on ourselves... we know
it's healthy (laugh).
