Annoying Shifter position

One minor thing that annoys me, maybe because I am set in my ways, is the shifter positions for P, R, & D. All the automatic transmissions I have driven in the past had PARK either forward or up. It is DOWN and back on the 1500XD. :ROFLMAO: So, to remind myself of my OLD ways, I painted the shift knob with light yellow paint. Enjoy!

I know some people don't like it this way but I never understood why. All the way forward is intuitive for going "forward" Backwards from Forward is "Reverse" and all the way back is "Park" Another thing I never understood is why some people want the gear selector pulled all the way down in the way of your knees while driving..........it's so much better to have it up out of your way when driving. Just my 2 cents.
 
I get annoyed by it because it is opposite of my Rzr... so while I don't mind the order itself, I do screw it up regularly due to my multiple vehicle situation.
