This comment made me look again and I noticed the paint overspray onto the intercooler (?!) piping behind the vent and I had a little chuckle to myself. Thank you.

It's definitely a Supra, those are just fibreglass panels with vents.

I was totally thinking Tiburon at first, but Tiburons have pronounced flat-bottomed side mirrors with a crease running over the top. Those are definitely Supra mirrors.

It's fairly common in Eastern Europe to buy RHD cars and then swap them to LHD, it's often cheaper than buying LHD ones from Western Europe. It's also often poorly done to the point of being dangerous and ruins any resale value the car might have

Isn't the point of a short shifter, that the pivot point is changed? Like more length at the bottom, less at the top? It looks like you can only make the top shorter.
Or is :thejoke:

I'm trying to think whether what I saw a bike brake used for was a disabled guy's hand controls or not.

I'll set the building on fire
The idea there is you move the knob closer to the wheel so your hand doesn't have to go as far to shift. The downside of course is that the knob has to go farther now and counter acts your short throw geometry, but also you have way more leverage so it's easy to crunch the syncros/dogs.

Has any other car done a dash mount shifter like the civic hatch from the early 2000's? Having driven one it's neat to have the shifter right by the wheel, you get used to it really quick.

I once drove the euro (sport) version of Dodge's Grand Caravan back in the late 90's that had a manual transmission with the shifter in that same location.
That was a strange ride but I did like the shifter arrangement.

That's where the shifter is on the Fiat Multipla, obstensibly to accomodate the 3-wide front seating, but much more likely just as a continuation of the batshit styling from the exterior to the interior
