Default works much better with

I put the sparco pedals on and moved them as close together as I could and now it is much easier. Yes you can do it without the covers, but why. Covers are like $40 and they look cool too.

Default Bring it on!

Your Porsche nine nine 6 of pansiness colour is no match for my AUDI s four powered by engine management chip of TAP1 manufacturer. Turbos will spool oh so fast will like kicking from starting line and disappear into horizons leaving NASA Racing Driver and his silly silly shoes in my dusting.

I know, that was terrible. Just trying to make a tribute to SmellsSoGood.

I also noticed that instead of editing my previous post, I reposted as a response. All this AW is melting my brain.

Default Huh. I prefer wider shoes, and a smooth sole makes it harder for me.

I normally wear Birkenstocks or Tevas, which are both wider than your typical sneaker. I really like the *very* tractioned sole of the Tevas. When I try doing it with dress shoes on, I'm slipping all over the place and it feels really imprecise.

YMMV I suppose.

Default Just keep doing it; eventually it becomes reflex.

I reflexively double-clutch or heel-toe all downshifts now.
