Default Square bottom steering wheel
What is the advantage of this type of wheel? I've seen them around, I know that Caravaggio sells one, and since I've never driven with one, I don't understand what it helps with.

The '05 wheel is kinda large in diameter, I could go for one cut off like that, so just smaller in diameter.
