Corvette Feet
Anyone else have a wife / fiancee who hangs her feet out the window (while driving or parked - as shown the latter)?
I think I'm the only one
BTW the aerodynamic drag it inflicts raise gas consumption

It shouldn't be to much of a wind drag as long as both feet a hanging out of the passenger window. But if one foot is out one window and the other foot is hanging out your window. Then I see where that could pose a problem.

Can't say that my wife has ever tried to put her feet out the window like that.

I have seen this happen to someone. It is not good. I do not let anyone do that in any car I own. Much less my vette

When I lived in Texas, I drove a Brit spec right hand drive car. My wife used to put her feet on the dash when we were driving along.
That raised a few looks and commments from the locals. No steering wheel and feet where the driver should be
