Feel your pain!!A disadvantage of the gauges being on the left are if you're steering with your left hand and shifting right handed, your left arm blocks the RPM's when positioned on the top of the steering wheel. Would be nice to have them on the right.
why would you be driving with your left hand/arm at the very top of the steering wheel? 9 and 3 man!!!TellyDSP said:A disadvantage of the gauges being on the left are if you're steering with your left hand and shifting right handed, your left arm blocks the RPM's when positioned on the top of the steering wheel.

That's how I'm almost always drive. Why drive with two hands when you can drive with one? Plus if you're shifting you have more control at 12 o'clock with one hand than you do at 9 o'clock with one hand. At least it feels like you do.Slalom said:why would you be driving with your left hand/arm at the very top of the steering wheel? 9 and 3 man!!!
it may 'feel' like you have more control... but you dont... take a driving school you will find out that holding the steering wheel at 12 is totally wrong...Jizoshula said:That's how I'm almost always drive.

Well, whatever, I'll take my chances. haha If I'm driving with one hand I'm not having it on the side of the wheel. Makes it a pain to make a left hand turn without adding my other hand. It's actually more like 11 anyway. When I have 2 hands on the wheel it usually is at more like 3 & 9, though. That being said, I've driven a stick all my life, but the 3 is so quiet and the timing is so different than my previous car that I have to rely on the tac sometimes.Slalom said:it may 'feel' like you have more control... but you dont... take a driving school you will find out that holding the steering wheel at 12 is totally wrong...
i used to drive like that, until i got m/t.lmp180psu said:I usually drive with my hands at 2 and 7. I use the driver's door armrest to rest my left arm on while cruising.
