At first glance I thought that this homemade wheel mount was absolutely ridiculous—and with good reason. However, the fact that I recently played
Mario Kart with my novice girlfriend leads me to believe that there could be a place for a mount like this. Using only a couple of 36-inch bungie cords and a plastic crate, you can build what is essentially a
training wheel for the game that helps beginners settle down with the Wiimote and master the basic steering movements. Just don't let any of your gamer friends catch you using it. A video of the
steering wheel mount "in action" is available after the break.

For those who don't like the floating steering wheel of Mario Kart Wii (because it lacks the realism of driving around a banana-spewing bulletmobile), this wheel mount by JTT isn't a bad solution. Using a suction cup to attach the wheel to any flat surface, the top tilts 120-degrees so you can compete old-lady or bus-driver-style. But for $28, we really wish it had the famous Chinese-girl-driving-wrong-on-one-way setting. Oh well. I guess good old fashioned psychotic "don't-cut-me-off"-motherfucker-Caucasian will still serve me as well as it always has. [JTT via GoNintendo]
