Yep, just learn to shift and turn the wheel faster 3 point turns are your friend.

hahahha, reminds me of every time im in a parking lot with alot of people.

I have to either do 3 point parking jobs, or TURN very slowly before it rubs against the rubber/plastic inner cover so no one looks at me haha

really, if im parked on the side of a road, i can just u turn there

but it can be quite hard considering I don't have power steering, and thus i have never gotten the full turning radius out of the car.

Obviously there are cars with better turning radii, but it turns better than the van i learned to drive in

xD, its good. I don't have much in my car...

no AC, no CD player, no power windows, no power door locks, no cruise control,

just a bench in a cab with a stick, radio, and a heater that's always on, and a steering wheel of course

huh... and I though I was the only one that noticed this

my old 82 Monte Carlo, a freek'n boat on wheels, had half the turning radius of my Yoter, lol. It also helped to have 450+ HP to whip rear end around

off the pavement in 4 low, it'll put the front end around pretty good though; I figured that out last night. I like having some new CV's; I can full-lock turn, and 4 low 2nd gear dump the clutch at 4k, and it'll raise up from sand and whatever else, and I don't have to worry about throwing a shaft
