Tenho dúvida no sentido desta frase dentro do seguinte contexto de anúncio para venda de fones de ouvido:
"let’s face it; style doesn’t always roll shotgun when comforts at the wheel."

Obrigado,

Sergio

Why do people call "shotgun" when they want to ride in the front passenger seat?

Because in the days of the old west and stagecoaches were the normal transportation, the driver was on the left controlling the horses and the guy next to him had a shotgun to protect against Indians and thieves. So we call "Shotgun" because of the position next to the driver from the old days.
