junked the missus's 2001 cube, picked up a 2004 cube. its way more cubie.
why didn't you try to get a weirder japanese car
also how hard was it to switch driving sides
1. utility/opportunity+expendable price point. This is her car. I don't really like it. cubes were sold in us but this one is still pretty weird. It has a hilariously small 3rd row seat bench that pops up in the back. you have to take the headrests off and they mount on holes in the side panel that are also the 3rd row cupholders. there are also 1000 storage cubbies. It has a TV tuner, but it doesnt work because of the switch to digital broadcast.
anyway, we just get the cheapest car that fits our needs at the moment we need it.
I do really want to get something weird/cool to take back. Delica space gear or starwagon is at the top of the list.
2. its a shock at first. We got driven around alot before we ever drove ourselves, so my brain was already adapted before driving. Now i can switch back and forth completely in about 2 days. every now and then i still have a brain fart and mess up, but its probably been 1.5 years since i last drove on the wrong side of the road.
its easier driving here because the roads are always crowded and you just do whatever everyone else is doing. going back to kansas is hard because you might be totally alone trying to decide which lane to turn in to.
