Why does it make more sense to drive on the right?  It\'s essentially the same, just opposite.

Try driving a import car in the US from the UK


i drove an American car over here in the UK and its a nightmare to see on some junctions because they are all setup for right hand drive cars.


its very scary :eek:

Plus, it must have freaked you right out to drive a car that doesn\'t
look like a baby pram!

chizz i was more concerned with the fuel economy and the fact it was like driving something that resembled a super tanker down the street.

also what’s up with the suspension have you heard of SPRINGS ? the damn thing drove like a cheesecake.

Also it was a automatic , don\'t you Americans know how to drive a "Stick Shift" i think its called.

over here i took great delight in changing from 4th gear down to 2nd gear so that i can over take.

Phaaaa European cars >>>>>>>>>> American Cars.

Well, I do agree that european cars are probably better at a lot of
things, but I will roll over your ass with my 4x4 when your springs
blow out on your dodgy pot-holed roads, then tow you to a
garage.

/me smells a flame war for liking my blazer...  

Nice car! My dad drives a blazer.

My old Honda didn’t pass the car inspection *sniff*
I need to repair the rusted beam.

I am confused.  All cars are driven so the driver is on the inside of the road.  If you are on the right hand side of the road then your car\'s driver\'s seat is on the left side.  and Vice Versa, so there is no difference.

As far as stick v automatic.  No clue what you are talking about.  American cars have stick.

Well it\'s still pretty hot here, I just went into the garden with a thermometer and it is 35C which is 95F and that is at 5pm! It isn\'t just the ambient temp either, it\'s the damn humidity. I wish I had air conditioning like everyone in america seems to have.

Just for the record, the highest temperature ever recorded in the UK is 37.1C which is 99F back in 1990. The weather forcast says this might be beaten tomorrow.

He\'s talking about MT vs. AT.  "Stick" = MT, which is a stupid thing many americans say.  The majority of cars sold in the US are AT.

On a lot of summer days here in America, it can be over 100 F. We have had stretches of 105-110 degree days. You complain of 95 degree weather? I know your not used to it but to me its funny Man, its 80 right now (rain for the last week) and I have my nice central air system on Its set to like 70 degrees and it feels so good

I\'m pretty used to 100+ weather, but the second it gets below 60, I\'m not a happy camper.  Basically I\'m happy as long as the weather permits the wearing of tank tops and shorts.  Anything colder is just nasty.
