I think it'll stay, even if my arm gets better
I'd never used a spinner before (the ones my Granpa and Mom had on their cars were in the 1950's, so I wasn't driving yet...I started in 1965), so this was my first time to use one. I tried it, maneuvering back out of my 90 degree driveway, and it was so easy, I just had to use it for all turns today.
I think it helped me track smoother around some switchbacks, at higher sppeds than usual, and it made parking at Sam's Club better too. It's a keeper. It may look funny, but I've always prized function over form (for instance my tablet on the dash for running Torque Pro while driving, and the motor speed controller on the console, that controls the aftermarket electric fan).
It's mounted on the left (bad wrist and thumb side), so I can grab it with my cupped hand and hold it much better than trying to grip the steering wheel itself. I put on a thicker wheel cover awhile back, to see if I could grip the wheel better, and that helped, at least until I sprained the wrist.
The Doctor gave me pills for my rotator cuff injury (right side), and some exercise instructions to follow, but I suspect my right arm will never be as good as before, and I might throw balls like an old man, from now on.
P.S. I never fondle my automotive equipment, so there!
