Not to be a downer, but I'd actually prefer it if you kept your arms at 10 and 2 -- or 9 and 3 if that's what you prefer (usually where I have mine). If you've ever driven a car in anger (that is, competitively on a race course) or in situations on the road where you need to avoid a collision, then you'll understand why two hands on the wheel is better than what you're suggesting.

Take a day long performance driving course or participate in an autocross event and then tell me if your one hand method is still the better way of driving.

I like the 9 and 3 position. It's the perfect position to be able to maneuver the steering wheel in any situation that may come up. At least that's IMHO.

The only time I'm not at 9 and 3 is on the rare occasions I forget my bluetooth headset and I receive a call (I have an '04 ).

lol, well California does have the Sierra Nevada mountains, of course I'm far from them. :-)

My parents own a house in the mountains (Twain Harte, CA)...so that's where the picture was taken. I believe it was the same weekend I got to test VSA.
