The Risks of Design Research Blogging

One of the positive side effects of blogging is that people contact me with various, relevant issues such as career advice, research questions and help with finding references.  I occasionally get very specific human factors questions as well.

But today I go the oddest question.  It was from a car dealer who I do not know.  I have removed the name and contact information for anonymity, but here is the word-for-word email:

im the Business Manager with the Local Ford Dealer.

My questions is...is there away to swap the position of the the brake and
accelator pedals in 2008 Ford Focus, we have a Tech, who's aunt wants a new
Focus and needs the pedals swapped!!

Im hoping you can help or point me in the right direction.

I responded that I did not think it was a good idea, and probably not legal to do so.  Anyone know otherwise?
