I think you've lost your mind, or, this is a case of psychological projection, where YOU'RE a litigious person, so you believe everyone else is, also!

Does anyone know how to go about compressing (Collapsing) the Fiero steering column 3 inches, to give you more room in the cockpit?
I read about how to do this a few years ago, but can't remember now?
Thanks in advance.
