This is one of the reasons I'm still married:
 
My wife ordered me the wheel as an early 10-year wedding anniversary gift (our actual anniversary is in May). She knew that I've wanted a racing wheel for a long time (going back to the PS2) and agreed that the price was too good to pass up.

My Wireless Racing Wheel showed up a day early and I got a chance to try it out tonight. I was surprised at the weight of the wheel and very satisfied with the quality of it. As expected, there's an adjustment period necessary to get a "feel" for the wheel - I was crashing into walls constantly in PGR 4. It didn't help that I had the wheel on my lap. I'm going to pick up a cheap snack tray to mount the wheel to.
 
I was very pleased with the NASCAR 08 demo though. I've always wanted to see how the NASCAR series handled with a wheel and was impressed with the results. I only have the one track (Daytona) available in the demo, but the car handled much better than with the controller and I was able to takes turns/bends while staying in my racing line - something I could NEVER do in any version with the controller. This one is being add to my Game-Q.
 
This is what I'm looking to make:

Yeah. I had to drill four holes on the bottom shelf so I could wrap the plastic straps around the foot pedal base.
