That's so true. There's a guy here in Georgia that has one that he brought to a local Mopar show and everyone stopped whatever they were doing and flocked to it. It was very cool and different
 
while I write left handed, most everything is done right handed. wonder what the shift pattern would be?
 
I drove a jeep DJ (postal) RHD for several years at work.

Automatic but floor shift.

Not as difficult an adjustment as you might think.

I would look forward to the challenge of shifting a manual left handed.
 
Convertible 1970 A body is super cool.

Not offered in US,
 
That model had the hemi inline six with triple sidedraught 45 DCOE Weber carbs. Made 302 hp from 265 cubes, very tractable, could pull down to 20 mph in 4th gear.
They competed in track racing against Ferd & Holden [ GM ] V8s, which were getting factory support.

Chrysler Australia was pathetic & offered NO support with obvious results.
I believe in NZ it was a different story, with the Aussie Chargers doing very well on the track.

Yea, but with the exchange rate, that Aussie 302 HP is only about 268 HP here in the US.

i do everything left handed except for fire a long gun
BUT i have a theory on that, because i dont believe i shoot long guns right handed, i believe they are marketed backwards
think about it picture yourself shooting a handgun single handedly
you got your dominant hand stretched out, correct?
you are doing two things with that hand, aiming, and pulling the trigger
which one is of those functions is more important to hit the target?
right, the aiming

now, in your mind, switch from shooting a handgun, single handedly to shooting a long gun, with two hands
did you move your dominant hand down to your cheek and add put your non dominant hand where your dominant hand just was?

if thats the case, you are now aiming with your non dominant hand

when i do this little exercise i keep my dominant hand outstretched but turn it to hold the foregrip of the long gun, and i raise my non dominant hand up to my cheek

so, now i am still aiming with my dominant hand

now, here is the kicker...since i am lefthanded, i always have my left arm stretched out when shooting, hand gun or long gun, doesnt matter, because the aiming part is the important part and it needs to be done with the dominant hand...so i submit to you that right handed long guns are ACTUALLY lefthanded long guns, BUT they are misrepresented as right handed guns

I would like to read your thoughts on Left handed ratchets and Allen wrenches.

left handed ratchets are superior to right handed for removing bolts, since it allows you pull instead of push
this means you can exert more power loosening a bolt (since you pull with your dominant hand) then you can tightening a bolt (pulling with your non dominant hand)

so the beauty of a left handed ratchet is that if used properly, you can always undo a bolt you tightened yourself without breaking it

allen wrenches kinda suck no matter what handed ones you use...so generally use allen sockets on a left handed ratchet
