Right Hand Drive??

[LudeRoca]

at this site www.importconcern.ca there a some really cheap 300 zx's for sale. The only thing is that they are right hand drive. it is legal to drive a right hand drive car but i just wanna know what your guys opinion is on that. WOuld you like it or hate it. Do you think it would be cool or stupid. And all the cars on the site are legit. The prices for the car's are pretty good. I think i might order one in summer.

From what i've heard, driving a RHD vehicle in Canada initially seems pretty cool but slowly becomes a pain in the ass as inconvenience slowly sets in.

The vehicle prices on importconcern.ca are excellent, however, and so far there have been no complaints lodged against them here.

yea itll be a bit more of a hassle, but that is the price u pay for the coolness of rhd. to put things in perspective, driving manual can be a hassle compared to auto, but thats the price u pay for the fun u can have with it.

Driving a RHD car isn't "that" bad...

I figured passing on a two lane highway was impossible... I found out it's not, it's risky and challenging but punch it and go :)

Doing a drive through... it's doable, one way or another...

I see things like parking garages being a lil more challenging b/c you'll have to lean into the passenger side if you're solo to get the parking tickets, but nothing too bad.


All in all, for some novelty and coolness... I can give up a very small bit of practicallity, especially for the price of some of these cars :D And the 20 minutes it takes to get used to RHD isn't bad at all.


We'll be around at local events in Calgary and Edmonton this summer w/ at least one of our cars... come check us out then and there if you don't have a cool JDM toy by then, you'll want one after playing with ours :)

yea i'd really like to drive a RHD car before i buy one. BUt i think it would be neat to have one and something different. Plz let us know when your going to be in calgary. I'd really like to come talk to you guys when you do.

it would be cool and all...but how would you do a left turn at a intersection if there was a car also makin a turn opposite from you??:confused:

You use the north lane at Peter's Drive in without having a passenger, but you are boned when it comes to most other drive tru's

Yep, RHD limits your vision when it comes to left turns. You have to be prepared to do lots of leaning into the passenger side.

On the other hand, parallel parking would be so easy!

Shifting with your left hand is actually very easy, even if it seems like it would be weird. Unless you are handicapped mentally or physically don't worry about it.
