Jdm??

Hey guys.. I've seen 2 different civics in the last 2weeks or so with the driver on the right side of the car.(Bronx,NY)
Don't know if this has been mentioned, but do you think there is any way I could get a JDM 370Z in the US?
I'm left-handed, and I tend to do things backwards(being lefty is tough). So maybe JDM would suit me. What do you guys think?

Not sure how you would do it, probably have to buy the car and then import it through a company. I know this is very big right now with people living in the middle east. The only issue is driving and blind spots.

Being right or left handed doesn't really change the fact that traffic drives on the right side of the road. Having the steering on the left gives the driver a better perspective of the road because they will always be closer to the 'center' of the road and better able to judge distances on either right or left sides. Right hand drive in this country means you would be closer to the right side but further from the left side of the road and on coming traffic.

IMO its not worth it to try to import it.
Usually you have to find a company that specializes in importing vehicles. (such as MotoRex in california for JDM Skylines)

If you've got the money go for it but I don't think it is worth that much just because you're left handed or what to be different.
