Question . . . driving gloves . . .
Story: Back in 2000 I purchased one of the first PT Cruiser. The first week I was driving my new red PT and came to an intersection at a traffic light and stopped for the red light.
Pulling up next to me was a nice looking Corvette and when I looked over the driver of putting on a pair of driving gloves. Impressive I thought.
As he was putting the gloves on -- I held up both my hands to him with No Gloves. He smiled back and laughed. I did the same.
The light went green and we both just drove off.
Question -- now that I have ordered my new 2014 Corvette (red/red), I guess I must think about some new driving gloves . . .
Just what do I need to be thinking here?
Kind? Quality? Color? Etc . . . I am sure some of you have opinions.

Gee, I thought maybe that is what set Vett drivers apart. This guy, back in 2000, looked very serious as he was putting on his gloves. Really, I thought it was a nice touch . . .
And you know, he probably washed his hands prior to getting in his car.

Did you resolve this issue?
"Say, can I get my wife's rolling walker, all folded up in that cargo space?
Yeah, I know, this car is only for 2 people and 1 zipped up body bag in the cargo space. But . . . can one folded up rolling walker fit back there?"
