currently locking mechanism broken*, if one never planned to park on a hill, should one bother fixing it?
as an anti-theft device, the steering wheel can be unlocked if enough force is used (I've done it by cranking on the wheel without too much effort) *can turn wheel with key out of ignition |

QUOTE(7391420 @ May 25 2004, 09:41 PM) With the locking column, you can still turn off the car and steer, just don't remove the key...at least that's how my car works yupp, same on my now '73 column ... as long as you leave the key in there, it won't lock. you can turn it off all you want, you have to remove the key before it will lock up ...
