Picture of steering wheel is upside down for some reason,
This isn’t a joke, Amazon dot com is actually selling this driving distraction device.
Attaches to your steering wheel for easy access to a writing and drink storage surface.
and the comments section
(you need to check the comments section out)
Wow is this thing great! I use it as a “mini-bar” when the friends and I go out to the bars. I can quickly fix multiple shots of tequila for myself and the friends as we drive from one bar to the next. We also discovered that if you place a pillow on top of it and turn on the cruise control you can catch quick naps on the interstate. If you swerve to the left or right the rumble strips on the road wake you up in plenty of time before you get into trouble. I can now take longer trips without being tired!
The comments section alone should give the brain dead idiots who decided this was what American drivers really need in their daily commute ….. a device to set up numerous distractions, was a lousy idea.
Two more of my favorite comments;
My copilot and I both used these during our “daily grind” transcontinental flights from San Diego to Minneapolis. We had to modify them a bit to fit snug against the instrument panels (when we bought them we didn’t realize the planes we fly don’t have steering wheels!), but in the end it did the job. With our laptops firmly in place we were able to focus our attention on what really mattered, participating in raids with our WoW clan. During our last flight we were so immersed in trying to take down Eranikus that we overshot Minneapolis by a full hour and a half before some annoying flight attendant interrupted us, babbling something about “FAA and F16 fighters.”
We’ll definitely use this product again at our next gig, whatever and whenever that happens to be…
Highly recommended!

The snark in the comments is almost as priceless as the insanity of inventing it in the first place.

Adding this desk to my car’s steering wheel has been baby Jesus awesome. I love emailing the Highway patrol while I drive to let them know the tag numbers of cell phone using drivers. Lordy!
Easily convert your car into your personal automobile office …..
But don’t do it while driving?
Why else sit in your car?
Oh right your house just got repossessed…..
Maybe in this economy this will sell ……

Good gawd Clif! Americans are getting lazy and stupid if they think this steering wheel table is a good idea! As you pointed out though….there are many Americans living in their cars, so they might find this device useful. *slapping forehead*
I’m sure the religious right will like this table so they can read their bibles while driving! Spit. Yuck.
