Does it really look weird or are you just not used to seeing right hand drive vehicles?

If I had money to burn, I'd do that to one of my Corvettes just to trip out girls when I take them on dates. Or I could just get a right hand drive car, lol. Or maybe a center drive Mclauren, then I can have one girl on either side of me.

But that would be funny if you were with a girl and you start walking over to the right side of the car, she thinks you are opening the door for her but really you are just getting in the drivers side!
