I'm not trying to be a smart *** at all. The ones I've seen wear a sleeve on their left arm for that reason. They could wear gloves, too, I guess.

And it's "you are," not "your."

I have the opposite problem.
As I have stated before on this forum:
Due to medical problems, I started wearing gloves because my hands get cold easily.
My hands also tend to be dry and I do lose grip without them.
I do not wear gloves in the summer. My hands are warm enough and moist enough.
Now you young'uns probably don't have a situation like that.

Doubt they are SFI approved though.


A lot of marathoners think these things are awesome. Personally, I don't get it and I'll stick with my Asics while running and driving.

It's a new trend in running that is gaining popularity (or should it be "re-gaining"), barefoot running. Supposed to be better for the feet and knees. Works for the Kenyans, I suppose -- they win a lot of marathons.

Of course, you wouldn't want to run completely barefoot on the city on asphalt or cement, so they came out with those ghey-*** things. A lot of people like them though.

As for the glove thing, I only use gloves in the winter, which means that the Mustang will certainly be glove-free.

Jeez, there's another old fogey here besides me. Hi guy. Hey, I would be interested in that driving light set-up you got. Easy to wire or was it a nightmare? Can any shop figure it out?

Bought some driving gloves some time back, but yes, too embarrassed to wear them. Think I would look like a poser. However, I do have one of those cheap leather wheel covers from the auto-parts store. Feels good and adds some needed thickness to the steering wheel. Road course the car and never had any slippage yet.

Cheers.

They spend their days running from lions. . . of course they're going to be fast. At least the survivors.

Maybe I'll try driving the 'stang with my fingerless bike gloves. . . That way I can still use the EP with the same ease as without gloves!

That's one hell of a badge. I can understand the sweaty palms.

My thinking is opposite that. I'm actually thinking it would be nice to have driving gloves with full fingers so that I don't get fingerprints on the nav screen. It would be especially nice if they were an exact color match for the seat leather.

If they also matched your purse they would be fabulous.

Actually, I use driving gloves for the Cobra. I bought a pair of Mechanix gloves with the faux seude palms. This prevents oils and dirts from getting mashing into the real seude and leather and becoming gross. Just a little act of kindness to my car. I'm not embarrased by that. You can say what ever you want.

My favorite is to wear my golf shoes when driving, the cleats help keep my feet from slipping off the pedals...

Driving gloves used to be worn for better grip when steering wheels did not come from the factory with a leather wrap. Older cars, especially in the 60's 70's and 80's had hard plastic steering wheels that could and often did slip in your hands, especially on those old manual steering cars. Drivers wore gloves to get better grip and keep control. I'm sure plenty of us older posters remember that it wasn't at all uncommon for guys to go out and buy the aftermarket covers that would slip over your steering wheel and enable you to get a better grip. These days, most cars come with a steering wheel that has a leather type grip from the factory, so no driving gloves needed.
