Have you checked FleaBay yet? This would be my first choice, for obvious reasons: http://www.ebay.com/itm/STEERING-WHEEL-SPINNER-****-SUICIDE-****-RED-RIDINGHOOD-/300892501732?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item460e9736e4&vxp=mtr
I'm thinking the truck stops would have a great selection---they're quite common in all the big trucks I've worked on.

i did glance on ebay, nothing quite like what im looking for that isnt coming from china.

the truck stop didnt have any at all, but it is kinda a small one. (loves at exit 162 on i-10 in chandler az) thats the only truck stop for 40 miles in either direction...

It's a myth that spinners are illegal. Check the following: http://www.suicideknob.net/state_laws.html

Just about any Tractor or farm equipment dealer carries them,at least around here,
I don't know about one that folds though

you can believe that website if you want to, but if you get caught using a steering wheel spinner **** in New Jersey by a state trooper, you WILL get a ticket, and will also not be allowed to leave until it is removed from the vehicle.

and i know a few people in other states that had the same experience.

As a retired police supervisor, I've had many experiences with officers thinking something was against the law without having read the codes for themselves based on "everyone knows".
Even I didn't know all the codes and had to constantly be looking up information to be sure charges would stick.

Mute point now since the OP has changed his mind.

You got any PROOF? I - for one - would like to see something that I can refer to - in writing!

Well if you really changed your mind, that's too bad. My buddy had one on his Buick and we claimed the front disc was stuck (the rent a cop at the mall believed us haha). But anyways, atwoods might have one, northern tool and supply (I think that's the name) has them, as well as the semi and off road shops around here. And personally, suicide ***** shouldn't be illegal if puke pipes arent
