    On my way to work, 4 miles oneway...10 & 2.

    Drive up north to Christiana Mall on Hwy 1, (45 miles/oneway) it varies--mostly left hand stays on steering wheel, right resting on the gear selector:

    My right hand will give the left hand a break every so often.

    Geeze, what am I talking about? lol

    Oh yeah, where I place my hand on the steering wheel.

    Usually left hand at 8:00. Right elbow resting on the centre console. Sometimes right hand at 4:00 if things are getting sporty.

    Also, all you guys resting your hands on your shifters might want to reconsider. I've heard over time that can cause damage to the transmission.

    Come to think of it, I rest my elbow on the center console more than the shifter!

    I occasionally put my hand on the shifter because I like touching it! lol

    A few, mainly added skids. I like leaving the suspension alone. I drive forest service dirt roafs in the desert west extremely extremely too fast. Toyota nailed this suspension going 65 across desert terrain. Changing it is dumb unless you have a specific need like crawling or mud.
    I don't "drive"my trucks. We manage geolocation as a team.

    That particular concern only applies to manual transmissions.
    You try way too hard...

    I don't think manual transmission drivers have yet been represented in this thread.

    You ought to try using both hands on the wheel since you have a habit of drifting lanes.

    10 and 2, as courteous as possible. Repairing bullet holes in door panels gets expensive. Last one cost 800.00.

    My drving record is clean.

    I do have a complaint over steering wheel mounted cruise control buttons that can inadvertently be activated when driving.
