Yay! Steering column took a ****! Pretty much destroyed the upper part of the steering column where the tilt mechanism, turn signal lever, and ignition cylinder are. Lost power to everything right after I turned left, and the steering wheel got locked for a few seconds until I wiggled it free. Started pushing it home since I was about 3 blocks away on 56th street, finally wiggled the column enough to get the ignition switch work, popped the clutch, and as long as I held the steering wheel to one side I could drive it. So far my $200 jeep has proved more reliable Oh well its a project car for a reason.
