sticky steering

OK, this morning i hopped in the ol' stang to drive to school. I backed out of my drive way and made my way down the street. (When i backed out the car died, which sometimes happens when its really cold like this... especially in reverese.)

But anyways, i start goin down my street and when i take my first turn, i use my left hand to rotate the wheel and then release pressure off the steeering wheel, expecting it to glide under my hand counterclockwise back into its original position as i follow through with the turn. But... it didn't, the wheel just stayed into the turned position and sent my vehicle and its somewhat temporarily inadvertent driver (me) towards the curb.

Now, i'm not sure if its my brilliant half canadian heritage canada or my mad driving skills that allowed me to quickly reposition the wheel to the forward position but the point is, its been doing that all day with very little remorse.

So, what do you guys think?
