[DeTomaso] Advice from the Ironbutts

[msm at portata.com]

Getting into a Pantera is easy as I have extra gravitation pull helping
me. Getting out is the hard part.

I usually just drive barefoot.  For track days, I wear the race boots
which don't have a wide sole.  Even in size 14, they are no problem for
those narrowly spaced pedals.

Hey - I don't really get how you manage to pour yourself in Mr.
President.
For instance, my feet are only 11EEE and I can only wear moccasins or go

in socks.
(or hit 3 pedals at once)
