I was curious to see what people wore when driving...sandles, shoes, boots, bare feet, socks...and if you are driving manual or automatic?
Personally, i tend to just wear flip-flops or go barefoot because I can't drive stick in heels ;D but shoes very rarely

I tend to wear clunky shoes, but not when I am driving. The spacing of the pedals does not make for clean shifting with big shoes. I like tennis shoes the best. I can't speak for the heels issue. Other than that, I just wear a smile.

Bcruzin.... what happened? You rolled along for the longest time without a smite. This to me is a sad day in GTI land. +1 to you to make you feel better, and +1 to Fastgirl because I love her. >:D
It would be nice to be able to see who gives you karma (good or bad) in here. Anyone second that? Or maybe it already is possible and I just don't know it.

Man, I can't imagine driving in heels, or barefoot (my feet would slip off the pedals or I'd hit the clutch at a weird angle and stub something).

Did you know it's illegal to drive barefoot in some states?
Gunny, thanks for the +! High heels aren't uncomfortable to drive in at all, once you get used to walking in them, then you can do anything in them!

How do you know it was him? Is it possible to look it up?
What about that cruise through the smokies? Could probably get a few takers from the area too. Late spring? Anyone reading this interested in setting up a poker run or something?
Did I hear you say you have a Vag Com? Was that you that sent me the question on Wilmington?
Sorry for so many questions.

I have to second that! High heels are the best things, however I cant seem to shift as fast as i'd like to or heel-toe it in high heels, hence the inability to wear while driving stick...that's why I drive barefoot if I'm wearing heels that day ;)
+1 for you because finally there's another girl on this site! hahaha
I don't have my fast YET.. delivery delayed.. but I wear the most comfortable shoes in the world.. Airmax 360.
I wear Piloti driving/daily shoes, but that's just because a get a boat-load of them for free. They're cool to drive with, but walking on hot asphalt all day sucks...

I don't really discriminate about the shoes i drive with, however if im going out to drive just for the sake of driving, I do like to put on my puma speedcats, barely any sole so you get a really good feel for the pedal, and they're very comfortable too.
