Maybe if you used a canoe or kayak style cam strpa and made multiple
loops around the bottome of the steering wheel anfd then all the way
around the back of the driver's seat and under the arm rests OR  use
rock climbing rope or webbing and girth hitched it to the bottom of
the wheel and then tied it off behind both driver's arm rests and
cinched it down nice and firm with butterfly knot loops and  half
hitches.   Getting that vector pull thing going.

  OH NO!!!  I've started another arm rest thread.......
