| Cbass, I pm'd you. Are you sure about the 10 1/4 diameter? I liked it a lot for highway but in tight parking lots it can be a 3 point turn to get out. |

| How about $320 for the wheel and $90 for shipping by mail? Don't forget the tax and handling fees. O, and the finders fee and my numbers are in american dollars. Ok are we set? Hello? Are you there? Ok $300 for the wheel and only $110 for shipping + all the taxes. Ok? |

Hahaha, let me get a bank draft, man 
I think the steering wheel might be a little small, but I'm a strong guy, I should be able to manage it. I bet I'll be an even stronger guy after driving it for awhile 
I'm going to be putting mostly highway miles on it anyways, so it's no biggie. Thanks for the wheel  |

I'm sure you are handy but how will you use the horn? Do you have a toggle switch? Without that fiber disc thing you get with the adaptor kit, you won't be able to get the horn to work or even get the horn button to stay on? Every after market wheel I have ever seen has had a major problem with the horn not working or it staying on untill the owner rips out the wires. I have had problems with mine too. I actually severed the horn wire to get it to shut off  My neighbors were staring I think I will use the {non functional} buttons between the seats. O crap! Do you have shoulder bolts??? It's been awhile since I've been in the steering column but you may have a problem. Hold on I'll get help. |

| You have stock size tires right? You should have a much easier time turning at low speeds than I did. |

I have sticky 205/40/16s 
I'm not especially concerned about the horn. In a worst case scenario, I can lean out the window and yell at people |

Don't forget shaking your fist!
You won't have auto shut off for your turn signals either. As you said you will be mostly on the highway so it shouldn't be that much of a bother. Unless you could fab something up for that? |

I'm sure I can work something out, or I'll just order the adaptor
I'd rather not spend anymore than I have to, I'm a student, I live on borrowed money |

remember, "horn doesn't work, watch for finger". That or carry a bag of rocks, someone pisses you off chuck one through the sunroof at their windshield.

I thought you were older for some reason
BTW I will send the wheel and horn button on Wednesday, through work. They get a bit of a price break and it is insured with a tracer #. So when I actually send it I will know the exact price for shipping. I think it will be around $7.50, cdn of course. |

| If you aren't in a rural place, just send a gold brick about 12'x6'x6'. I will shave off a few slivers then send it back, no sweat! Or you can pay 95% interest on the value {of the car} for each day you are away. So whatever you would like to do is fine with me. |

The largest ingots I have are only 10'x5'x5', they're from the US :-s
Damned imperial measurements
It should do though, right? You'll get the Prime Minister to deliver it by hand, I expect.  |
