JDM vs. Domestic Scoobs

So I got an opportunity to swap my 04 2.5 RS (170000KM) for a 1996 STi (71000KM).

I would jump on it, except I'm skeptical about RHD. In a left turning lane, you would be blind, and in a right turning lane, you would be sucked against the curb. It just looks like it would fuck up my driving.

Any experiences?

no personal experience but i feel like i would miss so many shifts for the first couple months trying to get used to shifting left handed

going rhd would totally fuck me up. shifting left would take some getting used to for sure, but i think turning/seeing the perfect line through a turn would be the worst.

shifting would be an adjustment, but being on the right side of the car i feel like you would get over pretty quick.
