Max-stravaganza

I've stayed moderately clear of addiction through my first 20 years. Well, that's not entirely true. There's Halo 2, Facebook and Entourage.

The majority of people in the world are right handed, so it would only make sense that the gear shift would be on the driver's right. But New Zealand doesn't want to make life easy so we drive on the le...
