you should see the looks on people's faces when i pull up next to them in my right hand drive classic

Don't you need a special permit to drive a right-handed car?

I worked with a guy who had a right hand drive car. He had no special license, though knowing the people I work with, I wouldn't be too surprised if you're supposed to, and he was just too stupid to know.

nope, the car just has to be 25 years old and it can basically be whatever you want - it's exempt from safety laws, emission laws and what not. since they weren't originally made for the US market any right-hand drive less than 25 years old is unable to be imported and titled

it would be possible to have a newer right-hand car if you have letters from the manufacturer and such that it's not significantly different than the US market car - ie a rhd integra from japan. but this is very uncommon

I'm actually pondering trading it in and getting a new ride. Don't know what yet.

If you want to stick with Mazda, the new(er) Mazda 3s actually have some nice get-up-and-go. When I was buying my MINI getting on to cars.com or something like that where you can compare as many cars as you want side-by-side was such a help.

As of right now I'm thinking of staying w/ Mazda and have actually been checking out the 3s. Thanks for the tip about cars.com.

i have had a bunch of cars and so far i think i like my mazda (6) the most. havent had one problem but i did get it brand new and the dealership up here actually doesnt rape you which is strange to me.

Thank you very much. My dad bought it used about 7 months ago for a very good price, and he's going to get a new car once I get my license. I'm super excited.

We may get better shit, but your car seriously has it all. It's like a mini camper. You should punk that shit up with a bunch of stickers, or get flames and skulls painted all over it.

Are those really common in Australia?

Wow! You have 2 right feet? Must take you forever to walk somewhere.

That's why it's x2. And nah, it takes me about 5 minutes to walk to work. 1 minute to walk to the mailbox. 5 seconds to walk to the next room. It's nice.
