I don't think there's anything strange about wearing gloves for daily driving.
I keep both hands on the steering wheel 99% of the time and if I'm on a drive longer than 45 minutes I often wear batting gloves (under armor from Sports Authority). Its very good in the Summer when its hot and my hands get sweaty.
My friend's girl friend thought it was funny that I was wearing gloves and then I aksed her when was the last time she had the oil changed on her Jetta...

The Boxster and 996 steering wheels are not expensive to replace but they aren't cheap either. You can get just the leather trim for about $100 but it will come out crappy looking if you aren't good with the needle and thread. An upholstery shop wanted mmm forgot I think about $150 to do the job.
