hahaha you guys are funny.
i actually have just always enjoyed driving barefoot. i feel more in touch with my car i guess. the only time it hurts my feet is when its 110 outside and the pedals are super hot.
i have actually seen videos of other people (guys) doing it, underground togei vids and stuff like that....
and hey Anthony Wong did it in Initial D so it has to be legit right?
lol
