That was then. In the age of steering wheel air bags, it’s best to keep your hands at 4 and 8, and not hook your thumbs inside the wheel.
Hand at two and ten and the airbag will drive your hands into your face, potentially breaking your face and hands. If you hook your thumbs, it may break them when it forcefully disengages them.
Can’t and don’t want to out do that slog through purgatory. One summer I worked fourteen hour days, six days a week, and eight hours on Sunday. When the harvest is going full steam, you are ground to a paste.
Yes, but you have to work at it.
