Ok, why is it, when anyone talks about doing a RHD conversion or buying RHD everyone talks about what about drive thru's or ATM's, Tolls, Etc Etc...

Do people NOT know.. Hey, if I can't reach, I can just get out.. I know if I'm by myslef in a car, I can just walk into the restaurant or to a walk up ATM with no issue. As for tolls, well, I don't live anywhere near one or plan on it. All issues are null and void in my book. Now, anyone wanna give me a RHD? hahaha

I'm not lazy. RHD is not practical for a daily driver. I have driven many RHD's. It's cool for about the first ten minutes, then the novelty wears off

There is no performance gain from RHD conversion, so there for NO thanks. I personally wouldn't spend a couple grand on moving the drivers seat to the right side of the car when i could spend that money else where, like turbo stuff, motor build, better axles, tranny, suspension, ect, ect.

exspecially since you not just looking at the cost to change it over your also going to have to live with it and if that steering rack went or if you broke something rhd only on your dash your kinda fucked because your going to be spending almost 200% on top of what youd normally pay for the regular parts you can easily get your hands on here.....
