    I think we can already talk about non-power steering.  Everything seems 
to have PS now, whether or not it's necessary.  The cream of that crop 
being the Toyota MR Spyder, weighing a whopping 2100 pounds, with the 
motor in the back, running 185 front tires, and *still* having 
power-steering.
