you know its FUCKIN WEIRD, lookin at handlebars by themselves as they turn.
He's kind of phrasing it like a jerk, but I agree with his point. It REALLY bothers me in modern games when you can't see your own feet. Tribes, UT2K4 and Halo2 (and I think even 1?) amongst other games let you see yourself. It's also strange that items you pick up with your hands just kinda float there - that's just plain weird. Reminded me of Deus Ex: IW. I don't think it would have killed Valve in five years of development to stick in driving hands.
Edit: and just to add, I think HL2 was friggin' amazing. Great action scenarios, and I LOVE the design aesthetic. Hands would just be a tiny plus. I agree that adding them for manipulating every object would take forever, but then, I thought the gravity gun was in there to make that point moot - I didn't know they'd let you pick up some objects manually until I actually played the game.
