The other day I was stopped at a red light. had a little girl (8-10 yrs?) pointing and smiling as she frantically called for her dad to look. She was so amazed I was sitting on the right side of the car. I smiled gave a wave, the light went green, and I carried on my way.

I love things like that, always puts a smile on my face.

Being RHD is the only reason everyone else wants them off the road. I know if I knew how to convert a car to LHD, I'd get a business started for when they pass the law

New one:

Apparently my skyline sucks! I agreed, thanked him and told him to have a nice day. He looked... Confused?

I love messing with feeble minds!

So did the guy driving the subaru sambar who leaned over, yelled "RICER" as i was sitting in traffic minding my own buisness, then dumps the clutch and takes off down the shoulder. Now I don't consider myself a feeble mind but that one stumped me.

As with everything, the status quo stupidity makes a trend out of everything. Now kids think they're cool when they call everyone Emo or a Ricer without even knowing what it means. People scream ricer at unmodified cars; they just don't have a clue.

See this post from 2007:

I just found out today that my sisters foster children's Freinds think I am a "loser". Because I "must have paid a fortune to have the steering wheel on my car moved to the other side like that."

She sat and let them finish their rant. Then told them she knew me and that I bought the car like that from japan.

Then they walked off talking about "emo" somthing??

I cant understand kids these days anyway!

my come back consitsed of

"NO! your a LUEWSER!!!"

Ditto, when my car gives someone something to smile about, it makes me happy, but when people get scared of it for no real reason it kinda makes me upset.

People keep telling me " Your steering wheel is on the wrong side!", I just tell them it's a factory defect, the car was built on a Monday. About half start laughing and half just sit there at the light with a blank look on their face.

[Snake556]

Lol, I like the factory defect idea :P That's a good one! As for people screaming "ricer" at unmodified cars, they're idiots and clearly don't know anything about cars. Let them think what they will.

I only had my car for 3 weeks before I parked her for the winter, I like the smiles and wide eyes i get from most people, but the one that bugs me is when people tell me im driving on the wrong side of the road, when clearly im on the right side of the road, im just on the "wrong" side of my car lol...anyways this was my best one from a couple weeks back:

Bus Driver: Hey, what kind of model is that?
Me: It's a Nissan Skyline
Bus Driver: Well obviously it's a europian car right?
Me: No it's from Japan
Bus Driver: Oh, Yeah it looks kinda like a toyota....Your driving on the wrong side of the road *chuckles*
...Me: *roll my window back up...facepalm*

[deo13]

i drive up to a light this lady ask me to roll down the window, i do, she says..."excuse me mister but your driving on the wrong side..."
my reply " no miss sorry your mistaken, im driving on the right side..." lol

[trickey1991]

wow hitting up an old thread..but my friend and i were sitting beside each other at a stop light and a lady (probably 50) was walking with groceries walks up beside me and this is how the convo went

lady: omg your driving on the wrong side, I must be seeing things
me: nope, youre seeing correctly
lady: no way, i gotta go home and take my meds this cant be right
me: mam its from japan
lady: i need to have a drink when i get home.......



another time a guy on a bike asked me "was it alot of work putting the steering wheel on that side?"

my buddy in his talon was laughing so hard...i was just purely stunned ahahha

[326_godzilla]

turning left on a traffic light intersection...

guy beside me: hey dude, how do you make left turns?
me: same way everyone does!
guy beside me: oh, ok...
me: *facepalm* make the turn lol

Aside from the usual questions about driving on the other side, my car gets a lot of positive attention from the people I least expect, like old rednecks and farmers checking out my car and saying, "That is a cool car!" Kids will wave at me, I'll hear people go, "oh man what a sick car!" when I drive by with my windows down. I won't lie, it's a pretty good feeling.

A couple of the most memorable moments:

1) Rolling up in front of Bier Market at the end of the night to hand out coats and stuff that was in my car. I get out to chat with friends, 5 minutes later there's a sizeable crowd around my car taking pictures and stuff.

2) I was visiting my sister in Downtown Toronto and parked my car on the street. I ran in to get change for the meter, and when I came out there was a group of 3 guys walking by my car. One of them stopped to take pictures. So I'm standing next to him, buying a ticket at the meter and I say:

Me: That's a nice car eh?
Guy: Oh man, you have no freaking idea!
Me: *unlocks car, puts dash ticket on dash*
Guy: *Jaw drops* YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME?! Dude I would do anything for this car!

lol it was awesome.
