No, we're saying that being an RHD nutswinger is rice..
So you can drive it without complaining? No one is complaining, we're just saying it's not practical for a DD in the states. At all, ever, end of story

p.s. why does everyone consider that rice? so your saying the majority of european rhd vehicles are rice if you consider this one rice? it's just what you're considering doesn't add up.

but Skateman im glad you decided not to do it, i think it woulda been very unique, but it seems like it woulda been ridiculously expensive and not worth it, especialyl if your car wasnt street legal anymore

. and fastfood places frown on driving through backwards and left hand turns are a bitch in traffic, but parrallel parking is even easier since you can see the curb your parking next too, but them try to get out of the same parking spot on a busy street without getting hit.would i drive a rhd car? - yes i would in a heartbeat,
would i drive it daily? - yes
would i waste a ton of time and money to convert it? - when hell frezzes over

not only is it not worth it, the fact is its not even unique anymore, hence it being referred to as rice. just search on honda tech for a few hours i am sure you can find more than a handful of rhd whips converted or imported.. is it cool, yeah espcially when your in the left lane and a hot chick isin theright lane, it makes it easier to get her number at the stoplight . and fastfood places frown on driving through backwards and left hand turns are a bitch in traffic, but parrallel parking is even easier since you can see the curb your parking next too, but them try to get out of the same parking spot on a busy street without getting hit.

i'm not saying it's worth all of the effort and money, but i am saying that it's a cool driving experience (for me).

RE: rhd conversion
I think that sounds really nice... I have only seen old MG Mini's in portland that are rhd... I tell you what, though... it is SOOO hard to get used to driving LHD after driving RHD... there suddenly is a huge chunk of car on the wrong side of your body! I used to drive a RHD minivan and a LHD VW passat (my brother's car) in japan and I tell you what, I stuck to the van because it was easy to maneuver in tight situations, especially tight corners. ANyways, good luck and post lots of pictures!
