Im getting a deal on a JDM S13 K Club from a friend in japan, i really want it but is it hard to get used to shifting with your left hand? I guess youd get used to it after a while but im just curious, i figured theres a few of you that have a rhd car so i figured id ask...Thanks -Joe

i figure i wouldnt be shifting too much cause my school is 15mins north up the highway, and ill really have to get used to it for drifting. Our local track has wednesday am-jam drift night. It really cool to see street kids on a track, lots of spin outs too, lol. Ill get used to it...Im gonna have to =)

heres the only thing that actually sucks. we used to live in asia and drove our LHD american car there, and this is what happens

when you ease over to the left to see if you can pass someone, your car will be hella in the middle of the road, you cant just peek. but as long as you arent an idiot you wont get into a head on collision

When I was in the Army, we sometimes had to drive Mitsubishi built Jeeps that were rhd, but that was in Asia. When I drive 1 handed I usually do it right handed, so it wasn't much of a problem, just shifting left handed, but I liked it. Driving on the right, you'd just have to make sure you stick close to the road edge.
