As we were driving the teener back home from dinner, my wife noticed the shift pattern of the 901 transmission, and asked why is Reverse in the upper left and 5th is lower right. On most American cars, some other Porsches it is in the opposite comfiguration.
I really didn't have an answer, so I said it was so women wouldn't drive them. She said dont worry about it, I'll figure it out after I get it in the divorce. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) Any answers?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
