i've got a question for you left handed guys out there ...
does it feel "weird" to have to shift with your right hand? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) i'm asking because i'm pretty much "ambidextrous" (both handed), i can write with either hand and use tools with either (yeah, yeah, i know, add lots of funny jokes here ...), but when i drove a stick-shift in england, i was suprised that it felt somewhat more "natural" to shift with my left hand. i had a hard time with driving on the wrong side of the road and i almost killed myself in a two lane roundabout, but i liked the shifter to the left. kinda strange, huh?

Im a lefty. Drove one stick over there....did not like it...basically I could not concentrate on the rest of the driving challenges, so I turned around, went back and got an automatic.... Funny story, we got lost on the way to a weekend golf thing years ago. Stopped and asked directions...the lady tells us...go to the "magic roundabout" take a left...blah blah... I asked what is a magic roundabout...she says...you will see...if you get through it without hitting anyone...its magic... Basically a two way roundabout with mini roundabouts where every street enters...kinda like a circle with 5 roads coming in... I sat there and laughed myself into tears it was so hard to figure out... Finally, with no mercy the Boston driver took over, I went around the thing MY WAY...as fast as I could, and got out without incident. I always hated the amount of car that is to your left when driving...near parked cars was the worst...I like taking cabs over there... So, from a lefty, no I did not like it...because you have taught yourself to be ambidexterious, it probably makes sense to you....but then again,,,so does your hair...
