After two decades here, I'm used to the wrong side thing, but still cannot imagine piloting a left-drive car on NZ roads. It's got to be insane, especially at roundabouts (traffic circles) where you yield to the car coming from the right, which could be in your blind spot in many US cars. Also can't get over how cheap a lot of US muscle cars are here. Thought about getting rich sending some to the US... but never did. So I just look at them and drool. Like at the Challenger I saw the other day. Now THAT brings back memories!
