Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 , I think the leopard print steering wheel cover sounds rather chic. Years ago, when our business was starting out, we had these old vans we'd use to pick up our material. They were 15 years old or more. One of them was from the early 70's, and it had a little star window in the rear. I used to call it the " ghetto van " too! Now we have nice trucks, but some of the most fun was helping Stan in the beginning, when we were pinching pennies. Thanks for bringing back good memories. Much love, Carol Re: [ ] Driving ideas I can vouch for those steering wheel covers, Carol. Although my ex now has custody of my old minivan, on a whim I purchased a leopard print, furry cover for its steering wheel. I noticed that my daughter would always remove it if she were driving that car. I asked why, and she said because it was " ghetto. " Well, the name stuck. I now always refer to that vehicle as: Ghetto Van. Anyway, I thought it was more comfortable to grip the wheel with the cover on it.
