Hey Don, when I have to drive on the wrong side
of the road, my brain usually snaps out of it the
first time I push the clutch down and try to put
the door handle into first gear.
Anyway you don't have it so bad. My brother-in-law
once came home from a long trip and destroyed
first gear in his car 'cause he forgot to clutch.
