    Default RHD Conversion. Why?

    I was just wondering why in the hell would anyone want to spend so much money to convert a car to RHD. Drive thrus would be a hassle, postoffices, etc. It seems like a big waste of money to me, anyone else??

    Oh and fuck JDM

    I thought about that too when checking out an RHD Civic. Hell I took somebody to the bank yesterday, and backed through so she could use the ATM. I dont wanna be doing that for myself lol.

    Believe it or not RHD is not as hard as you think.

    I mean as far as drive throughs and such. I am not talking about doing a conversion or any crap like that. You just have to LEAN far. lol.

    It does suck when you try to grab a parking ticket out of the machine like when you go to Atlantic Station and such however... gotta get out of the car. lol. Ive got a little better at the ATM machine, but I still have to get out every once in a blue moon. Normally I can just lean however...

    Driving a RHD in the U.S. is the funnest thing for me, everyone looks at you and the chick attention is rediculous. The first night I picked my car up in Florida, I was driving it up the coast to Georgia, I was waiting at a red light and some young college looking girl was sitting next to me, After about 10 seconds of her eye fucking my car I was flooded with 101 questions plus a phone number.

    True story

    Plus the looks on cop's faces is priceless

    Lol, never thought about that. They approach the left side of your car, only to find your not in the seat and the steering wheel isnt there

    if it is from here then not rly... if it is from over seas and a true JDM land car then it has to pass emission requirements and safety requirements.
