I am the same way about letting people drive my car. But I let many people drive my car at the Ca. Coast Run. I wanted people to feel the power steering to judge for them selfs if the Fiero feels better with it. I will say that everybody that drove my 3.5 S* with power steering was Very respectfull and kind. I told some of them to push it but they chose not to. Only a few of them even hit the 6700 red line. I have no problem dispelling the mith that the 88 wont benifit from power steering. My reason for power steering is for a MUCH faster ratio and not so much for less effort. So the first thing they said was how well it feels. So I am sure that other people wil drive it too. But if it were just stock steering I dont think I would let so many drive it. ------------------

I don't blame anyone for being extra careful with their baby I will have to treat each test drive on a case by case basis. not just carte blanche.

Man! That is exactly what I have been looking at! I want one of those too! Let me know how it works, I always wondered if can recharge fast enough to keep up, I don't
really want one that runs all the time.

all I can say for now is Whhoooo HHoooo!!! I have been wanting something like this for several years now and somehow my wife and her family picked up on it! (i think she is ready to see the yellow car run... ) I just ran it for it's 15min break in period and after I shut the moisture drain it took right at 5 min to get to 145psi. seems good to me but I will have to report back after trying some tools out. say for instance the impact wrench to loosen the strut bolts? this thing came with an extra, a little tool kit with a craftsman impact wrench, 3/8 drive air wrench and what looks like a rivit gun... maybe it's a drill, not sure yet...
