Winter Time

Finally getting ready for winter driving, aka my driving gloves are in,


Can be seen a Douchey but I'll try and put on the attitude with them that leaves them as functional and stylish haha!

I like driving gloves. They give me better grip on the wheel

I never used to like them because its difficult to smoke with them on. Now that I've quit I think I should give them another try.

similar to the smoking they really aren't good for texting but it's a nice deterrent, even though I never would as it is.

Well smoking is just plain bad driving or not and texting and driving is plain stupid

I just may have to post a "selfie" with the gloves haha, I'm sure people imagine me as anything from a fat 12 year old to some defined jock, or a thin guy with a pocket protector and glasses haha.

I don't have driving gloves, but I do keep a pair of winter gloves in my car. I love my aluminum shifter, and e-brake but they can get very, very cold, or very, very hot. Not sure those gloves will do much when it's cold, but they certainly look cool.

Wow! So you do know what that white precip is. Hopefully you stayed home last night. Note in my pics I have my snow tires on.
