Are you talking about the crash or the guy that fell asleep redlining his parked car?
Now THIS is how you are supposed to "gangsta lean".

See where he's sitting, then see where the headrest is located, about 6" behind the B-pillar. What a total and complete idiot.

When I drive, I usually have my left hand on the wheel at 12 'o clock, mainly because it's comfortable there, and my right hand is resting on the shifter knob, or my arm is on my arm rest.
So it's relaxing to extend your arm so you can reach 12 o'clock?
All except that the downward pressure on the steering wheel means you're swerving back and forth and having a helluva time staying in any lane, much less your own.Try it. Gravity pulls your arm down, but because your fingers are curled around the top of the wheel, it requires no effort to hold your arm there.

The only people I ever see doing the gangsta lean are ricers (cause it's cool), Appalachian Americans (cause they're lazy), and genuine gangstas (don't talk back, fool).
I dunno, my hands are usually 9 and 3, left hand is always at 9.... If I am in any traffic though, 9 and shifter or 9 and 3. Usually right hand comes back up right after I shift.

Do none of you stick shift drivers do this? Whenever I'm in a situation where I'm using the console shifter a lot and I don't have to work much at the wheel (like traffic) I generally put my left hand on the top of the wheel because it seems to be a pretty natural place for one handed driving.
Or am I just a poseur ricer trying to be a poseur gangster?
