Made me laugh!

OK....This is in no way to be offensive to those of you who do....But....Yesterday it was such a glorious day, I saw many individuals out driving their Vettes, Camaros, Grand Prix's, Mustangs, Etc. But the thing that made me compltetly laugh was all of the drivers wearing driving gloves.

Maybe I am wrong here, but driving gloves are used for what reason?

First off, they were a means of protecting the hands on a Metal/ Wood steering wheel.

Secondly they aided in the grip of a tired and sweaty hand.

Arent the new steering wheels leather or pleather in some cases? Is a sprited ride on the Highway that agressive.

Im sorry, but to me it reminds me of the 1980's Joe Pisopo.

 

Ask Carbon what he thinks of this??!!!

 

Agree! Yesterday was definitely top-down. But, forgive them, father for they know not what Spring is-Yet!

 

The (wood wheel) Alfa has out-lasted a half dozen sets of gloves.

The Ferrari has a leather wrapped wheel, but which do you prefer to wear out, the wheel cover or gloves?

I figure I can get another wheel cover about as easily as more driving gloves, these days.

The only reason to use driving gloves in my 328 is when I leave it parked in the sun: the black wheel cover gets to hot to handle.

 

Meh... Gloves I can deal with, but when the oversize aviators and the scarf come out, THAT's when I come apart. Especially when it's a hard-top.

 

I want to see someone driving a mini van with a full racing suit and helmet on...now that would be funny.

 

I wear some when it's too cold to hold the steering wheel in the winter; not for any performance related reason.

 

I wear gloves often during the summer...



But they are red, nomex lined, OMP style...oh...and the full suit sometimes accompanies the gloves...



but eh...thats only when I feel like goin over 150 and pulling some Gs on a track...

 

I wear my full face helmet and Simpson suit while driving my GMC Safari. It does have 282,000 miles with the origional shocks. I just want to be prepared when it puts me in the fence.

 

I don't give a f@#$. They can wear a tutu if they want.

 

Do you rev at people at stop lights too?

 

I'll forego the Aviators and scarf, but I've got the top down and the gloves on...

Sea Dweller? I'd say Sub, but I don't see a cyclops.

 

Old Sub.
Good 'eye', Dave...!

 

At my age I think you're right.
