 >Yep, and it was an easy matter to shift with your left hand while the right
arm was around the girl.<

Once drove a '59 XK-150S from North Carolina to The City with my right hand 
in a cast. Was stopped by a policeman for leaving a toll booth overly 
briskly. As he walked up I held up my right hand. He just shook his head, 
turned around, and got back in his car.

Got very good at shifting with my left hand and it was a floor shift.
