Default TC Off Center?

Am i the only one who has noticed that the controlls, ie steering wheel and guages, are about 4 inches off center from the drivers seat? This isn't too big of a deal, i was wondering if i'm nuts or if this actually the case.

maybe if you sit properly and not drive with a gangsta lean... then the guages and steering wheel would be centered.

It flashes to remind you to change the oil. You need to reset it.
