Scooter, this was a brilliant thread (don’t be upset). I’m so glad there is a forum such as this one. My Dad had those gloves back in 1984, he wore them because the shift knob in the Alfa began to bother his palm. I played La Crosse in high school and just like hockey, once you get used to wearing gloves, picking up the stick doesn’t feel the same without them. Gloves like that for driving may have served a purpose when you actually need to “drive” the car like an old Triumph TR4 or a diesel powered John Deere. Ultimately they were a fashion statement in the 80’s as pretty much everyone has pointed out. You might as well get an old school ESCORT and the awesome folding Porsche style aviator sunglasses to go with them. Bottom line though: “.. to each is own…” do what you want. You asked for it when you started the thread. Hell, ever drive your 911 in just your underwear? Now that them there is fuuuun!!! Yeeha!
