I cant shift with boots

I know this sounds really redneck, but, I can't shift to save my life when I wear boots. Its just that I have a hard time feeling the clutch with them on. Anyone else run into this problem?

lol ok this is going to be fun

I always had a problem shifting when my x was rideing me or when she was leaning over the center console helping me with other things. I still havnt figured out how to fix this problem


now i did wish at the time i had an auto, but then i would remember another x that kept hitting the shifter into neutral on my auto. I figured you just cant win

now back on topic
boots, well I dont wear boots but i had an x who did sometimes. she could never get traction in the car. how this helps you i dont know.

now one of the same girls liked to put her feet up on the dash which was nice. (she had great feet) but she would also leave foot prints. which i made her clean weekly (she did the windows)

Heh LMAO at eddie. Hey just lean the seat back a click and let her lean over the console. Then put your arm over her back and use your hand to shift. though with a short shifter i think it'd be a little harder to reach.

As for the boots thing. I wear boots all the time(not cowboy boots) but i dont find it difficult to shift at all. But then again i dont even give the slightest thought to what gear im selecting or shifting into.

Im still laughing at eddie thats just got me smiling.

Good times eh

LMFAO at Eddie's response. Got me rolling on that one dood.

Yeah, shifting with boots can be tough, and with sandals sometimes. I would much rather do it with my sneakers or barefooted. Shift, that is.

Hey just cause your GF drives a car thats faster than your doesnt give you a reason to hate on me

Heh i didnt know she was your girl when i asked either, thats kinda inappropriate of me. But i was just curious to know. Besides she told me i could always come and meet her to find out. Hmm maybe i should take her up on that offer????

Wouldn't bother me in the least bit. I'm not insecure about it at all, I'll let her tell you about me.

Won't even respond to the car comment. Just shows how much ***** envy you have. I'm selling mine anyway, are you that blind to where you can't see my sig???
