Years (decades...) ago we 'southpaws' use to be a minority,
but census says we're now the majority!
Does this mean we'll start seeing cars built 'handed' in the future.  :-)
...yeah right.  

What's this got to do with left/right steering wheel location....?

In the course of my most recent 'toy' sale, while giving a prospective
buyer a ride... on the 'outbound' leg of the ride, he asked why I kept playing
with that   " thing on the tunnel "  ...seems he'd never seen or heard of stick 
shift. 

After lol on my part, and a short explanation....  his reply was...
" Well that's stupid... what if the driver is left handed or forgets to change?"

Needless to say...  the cruise was cut short with no plans on my part
of ever letting him near the driver's seat.

That it's nice to be left handed when driving a right handed car.
