   I use driving shoes when on the track, but in normal driving, boots it
   is.
   I tend to wear them a lot... just ask anyone who knows me.
   So, yes. I was serious.

   I sometimes find it difficult to tell when some of you guys are joking.
   Is anyone not wearing driving shoes in their Pantera then modifying
   pedals to suit their outfit?
