Wheeling and dealing

On our shopping trip yesterday, we picked up a new driving wheel. The one on Charles’ computer had broken. The lockdown lever had snapped in half a while back, but now the accelerator peddle wasn’t active.

The selection in the store was limited so I got the Logitech Momo Force Feedback Wheel. I liked it in part because Mom’s Subaru WRX has a Momo steering wheel.

I originally put the wheel on Charles’ computer because it was his wheel that had broken. But Corwin tried it out and was enthralled. This presented a bit of a dilemma - I bought it for Charles but he wouldn’t really notice the difference between that and the old wheel (the same type as on Corwin’s computer). So, after some agonizing I decided to go ahead and let Corwin have the new wheel and put the old style wheel on Corwin’s computer on Charles’. I made Corwin clean the basement, though, before I let him play on it.
