Looks to me like CHiP chose an Empeg over a decent-looking steering wheel. I'd do the same; with an Empeg no-one would notice the wheel, even if you were hand-cuffed to it. *smirk*

Actually I suspect CHiP lives somewhere with cold winters. If it's cold enough your hands can freeze (momentarily) to a leather wheel (due to the water content of your skin hands). This is not pleasant...
