What's that 'card slot' under the steering column do?

It's under the steering wheel on the right side. Does it do anything or is it for anything in particular?

He's driving on the wrong side of the car, so it's probably the fobgina he's talking about.

I have no clue how you guys shift left-handed. I'm righty, so my left hand is absolutely useless in motion.

When i have gone O/S before it does feel weird shifting with the right hand. I suppose it's just something you grow up with and get used to it. BTW not saying a word about your left hand being useless

No worries, mate. The right hand takes care of everything.

Lol. You guys crack me up

err.. What's a fobgina? Sounds dirty...mmmmm

edit: worked out what the fobgina is but too small to be practical...

The slot I'm referring to looks like a credit card slot. You need to look under the dash. It's pretty low.

Fobgina! LOL

I saw the slot the other day and mentioned it on our meet. We all looked at it and couldn't work it out. It cant just be for buniness cards as thats a stupid place for it. Someone needs to read the manual as I'm too lazy. Im sure it'll be there.


Wrong side? It's a Japanese car and in Japan they drive on the left like us Aussies. How is that wrong?

Our way keeps your dominant right hand on the wheel to steer which I reckon is better. I have driven in Europe in a left hand drive car and it feels strange but it's ok. The gear shifting part is straight forward, it's the traffic coming from the other side that's that hard part to get used to. I actually got into the car on the wrong side after I filled up with gas once...
