Ain't no restrictions,Hell,I got 3 RHD cars!

And......If they're over 25 years old you put'em on Historic Insurance which is a helluva bargain.

Subaru used to sell a lot of RHD's, mostly for mail delivery people. I hated it when we got one in and had to fix it.

You'll love driving it. Just wait till you're stuck behind a slow moving truck on some two lane road and you want to pass him.

Uh,,,, that is when a postal employee delivers your mail in a rural setting. It makes it much easier for them to deposit the mail out the right side of the car.

Never thought about that - that would (could) present some opportunities
