this is one of the funniest questions I've seen in this forum in a long time
my answer - I have no idea.

haha, I was convinced by friends once to reverse through so I was sitting on the correct sideFantastic responses in here folks
Yea, drive - thrus have gotta be awkward stretching across the passenger side just so the intercom can understand the order. Wasn't it in Dude Where's My Car, when a rattled driver lost his temper, got out of the vehicle and trashed it?
I recall chuckling so loud because the voice behind the intercom kept on deliberately winding him up
Best thing to do is park and physically go into the restaurant. Then you won't be clouting the misbehaving intercom

correct about the left hand drive cars from japan. I used to work for a company that assembled an american brand of truck (international) - was a challange to build them right hand drive!There is many japanese cars here with the driver on the left (they were adapted for the international market of course).
On the other hand (no pun intended) it would make more sense to change gears with your dominant hand. However I am left handed and have no problem changing gears with the right hands, but I can't imagine myself driving from the right side of the car. That'd be... really weird to say the least !

I still want to drive a car with the steering wheel on the right side. Now a standard shift car , or stick shift as I might say, might be a bit of a challenge. Excellent question Lee , and great answers do far.
oh you haven't lived!
I owned a left hand drive and a right hand drive vehicle at the same time once (does that make me "bi-steeringwheel"?)

I recall reading a theory about this somewhere. Apparently back in the day (Romans or something I think??), people on horses stayed to the left of tracks due to most people being right handed - therefore could hold the reigns with the left and use a sword with the more dominant right hand toward oncoming "traffic" if need be.
As for modern roads and vehicles, I'm not sure the reason for some countries to drive on the left and some on the right. I can only really speak for Australia and New Zealand when the first few decades of car imports in the early 1900's were predominantly English imports, i.e. already set up right hand drive (for left side of the road). Now with most imports being Japanese, and Japan also being right hand drive/left side of the road, it still seems logical.
As for personal opinion, I have owned a left hand drive car, and (apart from sitting on the wrong side to everybody else on the road and having to yell across my passenger into the speaker in drive throughs) it didn't feel too awkward I guess. It's just it kinda makes sense sitting on the right hand side of your car as most people are right handed - I would have thought it would make sense to keep your dominant right hand on the wheel whilst your lefty is changing gears. Not to mention sight, as most people aim a gun or scope with the right eye due to it (and I am generalising here) being also more "dominant" it would seem that having that same right eye closest to the centre line of the road to look into oncoming traffic also makes sense. That's my personal opinion though

.... right, im off to submerge my testicles in a bowl of ice water while I look at some tartan samples!
now theres a sentence you don't here every day

Us New Zealanders shag sheep as well, apparently also everyone has featured in a Lord of the Rings film / or Xena episode, and we all play Rugby...
Since moving to Australia, I apparently now shag kangaroos, wrestle sharks, and finish every sentence with the word "mate"- 1

I had a mint Nissan 300zx up until just recently. Sold it and bought a Toyota Hilux surf (toyota 4runner depending where your from) which is more boring but more practical lol

woohoo! go New Zealand!

Well it's a traditional outfit, from a very far away country with its own codes and backround. I guess if the outfit meant a lot to me, like my culture, backround and where my roots are, and if I believed in all this, I would probably say yes.
But till now I never considered a thong, never...
Im a kiwi, but to be honest..... this is far from my preference as well

I personally find the whole sweaty/dirty man thing very unattractive. I find clean guys a lot more of a turn on
I seem to be in the minority with this view though? haha.
I work/live in a 40+ degree climate and therfore shower twice a day and change clothes daily.
