Post Be careful!

Guys; I would be cautious with those size 12 shoes (work boots). I'm 6'1" , 265 pounds, and size 13 shoes. I drive bare footed all the time so I can feel the break and gas petals. A long time ago I got into trouble trying to stop a car. I kept going while pushing on the break petal. I was wearing sailing boots at the time, and I didn't know that my boot was hitting both the break and gas petals. I rear ended a car (minor bumper damage). I thought my breaks were bad and it was only me. Ever since, I drive with my shoes off. I always drive my FFR without shoes. Cobras react very fast, and I need to feel the car at all times. Be careful with those work boots or heavy shoes. (MHO)
