What probably happened was you somehow moved the key back causing the engine to die and lock the steering wheel and in your panic you thought it was forward?

i see where you're coming from, and your assumptions are quite viable. i didnt panic when this occurred, but i did get freaked out nonetheless. this event took place at night. i was lettin off the gas after a boost pull and then, CLICK! the whole car died. the headlights went out, the gauge heads up display, the stereo, total power outage. it all just blacked out. so, immediately after i decided to make the car coast in a straight line. the wheel didnt even move a hair of an inch before locking. "ohhhhh shit" ran through my head.

@project 10AE, makes sense. i may have to check the cylinder to see whats up. first the car lost all electrical power then right after the wheel locked with the key forward.

@garfinkles, you read my mind. im goin to get that locking pin removed and never have to go thru this again. imagine if i was on the expressway and this happened? goddamn scary to even think about.

thanks for the input everyone. i hope nobody else has this situation pop up on them.
