I dunno ... isn't putting the passenger forward blocking the view of the driver out the right side of the car (and prohibiting view of the right-side mirror by location of the body) generally considered to be a bad thing? Some sort of ... oh, let's call it a 'safety issue' sort of deal?
Don't get me wrong: I like surprises. I just don't believe that "changing lanes into a semi that I couldn't see because the passenger was in the way" is a surprise that I'd be in favor of. I'll stick with chicks popping out of cakes.
