Default Why RHD?

I was just wondering why people do right hand drive conversions to their cars? Is it to deliver mail?

I can understand importing a RHD car because it doesn't exist in the states, but to convert LHD to RHD doesn't make much sense unless you have no right arm, or you work for USPS.

Is this just an aesthetic thing? Or a desire to be JDM just to be JDM? I don't see the appeal. Can anyone educate me?

Well, the dude that played Luke Skywalker did it in 'Corvette Summer' to and oldschool Corvette and that was kinda cool, but it got stolen so it didn't matter anymore.
