Hello bargain-hunting friends. I, like you, enjoy a good deal. But at the same time, I, like you, refuse to settle for anything less than the best. If I’m sleepy, I recline on a pile of the finest used mattresses. If I’m hungry, I eat an entire dumpster of caviar. Weeks-old caviar, though, to keep it within budget (might explain why it’s in a dumpster). And if I need a steering wheel, I’m grabbing this thing right out of a Sauber Formula One car.

An F1 steering wheel, when new, will set you back . While you might not see the inherent value in purchasing a steering wheel for the price of a Toyota Supra, thankfully this one offered up for sale by will only set you back €10,000, or $11,295. That’s the price of just a slightly dinged and dented Honda Civic:

Okay, I’ll admit, for $11,295 you’re not exactly getting the top-of-the-line F1 steering wheel. Beggars can’t be choosers after all, and this one isn’t off of, say, a championship-winning Mercedes driven by Lewis Hamilton. It technically isn’t even off of a car that ever raced in F1, nor was it used by a driver who ever raced in F1.

But that doesn’t mean it’s not part of F1 history.

This particular wheel was used by one of the (sadly) few women ever to get behind the wheel of an F1 car, Simona de Silvestro, during her test for Sauber back in 2014:

De Silvestro never got her shot in the big time because, but the wheel would still look neat shadowboxed on a wall or serving as a tiller on your 1997 Honda Civic.

And if you’re worried about smashing one button while you want to be twisting a knob, .

Watch A High-Speed Mistake At The Daytona 500 Nearly Take Out Clint Bowyer's Rear End
Close call? Close call. Either way, the first caution at the surprisingly clean (so far) Daytona 500 came out after a pretty simple mistake that could have ended much, much worse. Corey LaJoie whacked the outside wall on lap 27 after trying to carry too much speed into pit lane....

The Crash Fest At Daytona Has Officially Begun
After more than a stage and a half of racing in the Daytona 500—that’s 105 laps in new-NASCAR talk—a tire went down on Kyle Busch’s car and spun the No. 18 around, collecting bunch of cars and tearing them up. Afterward, Busch blamed and served a major burn to NASCAR’s...

Final Stage Of The Daytona 500 Starts With A Massive 16-Car Crash, Plus Another Crash
Here’s what happens when NASCAR’s Cup Series tries to go four-wide at Daytona where there’s only space for three cars abreast: one huge crash. Jamie McMurray got a good run coming out of Turn 2 in the No. 1 car, going for the gap above Jimmie Johnson’s No. 48 car....

Stage Breaks In NASCAR Make Me Feel Robbed Of Racing
After the first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series stage break of 2017, I just feel robbed. The first stage of today’s Daytona 500 ended on lap 60, and the second stage went green on lap 68. The caution break between stages eats up laps that count towards the race distance,...
