Why is the steering wheel not centered left-to-right on the driver's seat? Is this normal? I find it a little strange, and a couple other people have commented on it.

I noticed this as a young man of 12 or so, in my friends carport, where his father modded dune buggies and such in his spare time. We would hand him wrenches and read specs out of the Idiot Guide and he would take us for test drives around the neighborhood when we were done. I was sitting in the drivers seat "helping" to bleed the brakes on one of his buddies 914's and asked why the steering wheel was crooked. He claimed that the motor and steering parts were designed by engineers who were known to be sheep lovers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) and the interiors were designed by hippies, who were known to be, well, hippies (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) and rather than redesign the whole car they decided to " compromise" and just hope no one would notice.
