I can't drive without p/s. I had it off for like 30 minutes and couldn't stand it.

Had mine off for the last 2-3 months or so. Doesn't bother me at all.

No p/s for me either. I like the increased steering feel, increased power, and decrease in weight - all for free.

There really is no point to power steering if you're not parallel parking too often. My first two cars didn't have it, but they were also equipped with very little rubber.

how does that feel on the track (road course) with p/s? is it extra hard to go through hair-pin turns?

Now that's the most common way to park here in Europe!!! Parallel = bumper to bumper, right?

no power steering builds up your arm muscles.
