Suicide *****

I'm looking for a suicide **** that will fit the 'fat' wheel on a Mustang or Focus. Anybody know where?

Amazon has some. I have one like this on a golf cart. It's ajustable so it would probably go on anything.

You could probably find them at stores like autozone. Though to be honest, I can't recall where mine came from. I would check wal-mart, tractor supply, and perhaps a truck stop or two as well.

never heard those called suicide *****, i always heard them called wheel spinners. they are illegal to have on cars in most states i beleive.

I just use the palm of my hand on the wheel and works nearly as well.

I've only known them as being called suicide *****.
Many places they are illegal, I don't know why anyone would put one on a modern car.

The last time I saw one that was not on a semi truck or bus was on my dad's 1960 F100. That truck really needed one for parallel parking...

from what i've heard they are called "suicide *****" because people would start using just the **** for general steering. i cant remember if it was because the **** fell off, or because people were just driving like ***, but it caused accidents

thus... suicide ****
