But like on a long distance trip? The gas pedal just feels too small for my size 12 foot without a shoe.

I actually like it. Driving with 2 feet is awkward unless you have good cordination. The gas pedal is small but your not supposed to rest your whole foot on it! Lol

I don't.. but my foot is big and the gas pedal is small it hurts the insides of my feet.

I two foot automatics, right foot for gas left foot for break. It's an old mechanic trip to prevent cars from stalling at stops.

lol ya I had to do that last time I was home with my truck. Oil pressure would drop to 0 at idle when stopped. so I preloaded the converter to keep the oiol pressure up.

Actually holding the break while pushing on the gas is an old drag racing tip. it preloads the torque converter so you don't have that momentary engagement lag when you punch the gas

/\ Jonny Boy knows where the good holes are and which ones to avoid.

That's all I took away from that. Sorry.
Interpret as you will.

I love driving barefoot. It's a lot harder to heel and toe if your driving hard but still doable. The best is loafers. It's like a driving shoe without laces lol
