    Left handed people have been shifting cars and trucks with their right hands ever since cars and truck had a gearshift to shift. I really don't see anything changing too much here either.

    You know those commodes at the Pilot that haven't been flushed after they've been used?

    Yup. It's me.

    See, the handles are on the left, and I'm right-handed, so......

    So TROLL, where are they going to put the shifter? Or are you suggesting that they move the steering wheel to the right side of the truck, so you drive on the opposite side?

    Even my wife says, "BS". Translated to mean, "grow a pair".

    It's like choking the chicken. If you want to do it bad enough you'll figure out how to use the other hand.

    They have a left handed fryer at McDonalds, you might want to try that out because this driving thing isn't for you.


    Is this the same guy who whined about the clutch not being a button on the shifter?
