Swop Reverse and Drive Positions on the Stick Shift

[nerys]

how can someone say what a nightmare if someone unfamiliar gets in the car when there's five or six different ways to do it now not counting electric cars I don't see any nightmare.

I can tell you what this is you are either used to it this way or you want it this way so you fabricate a tale of gloom and doom to justify keeping it this way when in fact you are the exception not the norm

you are flat out incorrect about voiding your insurance or warranty for safety cert 100% incorrect

Well when ya crash and they find you have modified a core function of the car with out proper paper work we'll see.

Talk about a nightmare if someone unfamiliar with your car, like a friend, valet or car wash attendant, drives it!

Perhaps the future solution is to set the shifter up so that the driver can set the shifter to their own preference.

Yup, that is why we call them a standard like it or hate it.

Hmm... I was considering changing the steering so that you turn the wheel left to go right. I figure it would make the vehicle difficult to steal.

sort of like your comments, I am not right at the insurence office, and you are so utterly unimportent I am not going to drive for an houre to get you the exact info.

[nerys]

no. like your comments. virtually every car is different and you "proclaim" it a standard ?

get real.

Just got my 2013 Leaf. Having a tuff time with the shifter. Have to look at dash all the time to see which gear I am in. Almost went through my garage.

[Leaf15]

I would agree - it was not natural from the start, but as anything, I got used to it after a few weeks.

Hmmm, same thing I thought, just picked my new "18 Leaf up and told my sister the shifter is a** backwards.
