You'll probably find out why the behemoth you're driving has power steering
and power brakes! And then you'll wish you hadn't turned off the motor.

Quick question - what happens if you are driving down the highway
at 100 mph, everything working fine, and you turn the key off?
Will the alternator stop generating juice? Will all your stuff
fry? I have not tried this in my car in a long time, probably
since the 70s - back before the key locked the steering wheel.

Actually, if you turn the key off, and the engine continues to turn, the
power steering will probably continue to work. Except on vehicles with
variable electric power assist (some Hondas and BMWs, and undoubtedly
others too)..
