     no thanks, I've broken too many joysticks playing computer games (when 
     too excited) to trust one to control a car.

Along the same line if you're open minded enough I'd recommend taking a look at 
t he 
Mercedes F-200 concept car introduced last month. Pretty much the entire car is 
joystick controlled, and tests have shown people able to manipulate it more 
preci sely 
than conventional systems. The other neat wrinkle is that it's cheaper(no 
steerin g 
column) and it doesn't care which side of the road you drive on, it can be 
driven
     
equally from either side.
   One other thing that I'm sure will be controversial, the control system 
   respon
ds 
as per drivers input, unless the computer figuires the drivers input is 
inappropr iate...
     
   Course with all the success MBZ and BMW have had with thier motronics blowing 
up,
I can't wait for this......This is going to be good!!!:-)
