How do you Drive?
I figured I'd ask whether you drive with one or two hands on the wheel for casual driving, and in what formation? A lot of us probably arent used to wheels so small. Lets hear it!
I usually end up driving with one hand on top of the wheel. The front of the car moves around so much that I do find that two hands is much more effective to keep it perfectly straight.

I drive with one hand mostly. Right hand stays on the top of the wheel for moving straight or turning right, then I switch to my left hand to turn left. If I'm being more aggressive I'm definitely using both hands. It feels a lot better to drive it that way.

Steer with my knee while I enjoy a bowl of cereal.
Seriously, left arm extended, hand at 12 o'clock. On longer drives hands at 10 and 2.

Usually one hand at 9 until it gets sore from the heavy steering, or both hands at 9 and 3 or 8 and 4 when I'm feeling lazy
