I personally like the idea of driving gloves. One of my reasons for that is to get used to the feel of wearing gloves while driving so it wouldn’t feel unusual when going to track or autocross.

AX? maybe.. Track driving? yes. Street driving? no. Unless you count "winter" gloves

Its funny this came up today, my friend and I went on a bike ride this morning and I rode over to his house. We got done a little late so I asked for a ride home, he's got a 2000 S similar to mine, we jumped in and he still had his bike gloves on and I told him to take them off immediately because he looked totaly stupid.

As for me, I actually own driving gloves...I have never used them or found a use for them...

Hi,

I think some of you guys are missing the point.

Driving gloves are not for warmth, better grip, or to look cool. They're for protecting the car's interior from the High Ph of sweat and fingerprints, and the constant wear to switch gear and other parts.

That said, there's nothing particularly rare or expensive about a production car like the Boxster, so I wouldn't opt for them, but a Vintage Spyder or Ferrari - absolutely!!

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

My thoughts exactly! I do ware some during the winter, but only if it's freezing outside and when I get inside my car. I like the black leather skin tight gloves that keep my hands warn and so I am able to still FEEL the stearing wheel.

This is a bit much. Everyone has the right to drive their car in whatever attire they think best. But seriously, gloves for street driving? That's pretty funny and it should not be a stereotype for Porsche owners/drivers.
