Ah, so in this case, any questions should begin with:

"What you talkin 'bout ******?" [1]

I have never tried it, but I am sure there would be nothing worth watching
when I ever do try. I have no question that I can operate a shift lever with
my left hand, I could even operate the gas with my left foot and the clutch
with my right, if it was required.

The bigger question is, have you ever seen a Brit on vacation in America?
Now there is some humor.

Yeah, they are just so funny with their little camping stoves
heating their beer before drinking it.
