Hell, driving gloves would be ridiculous even if you drove a bentley. Unless you were someone's butler.

I don't wear gloves to drive but I do wear them to shovel horseshit...which I kinda felt like I needed them reading through this thread!

Always wear them to protect my steering wheel,also the little footies on my shoes just like the cable guy puts on before entering my house to protect the floor mats,and a nice soft blanket to protect the seats.The entire exterior is also covered with the same sunscreen my wife uses in the summer months. It's no garage queen,I put 30 miles on it this last September. ??????????

Steering wheel
Here is my wheel after 54,000 miles it's a 2013 GMC. Say what you want about driving gloves but this is what you get without using them.

GMC? As in truck? As in hands might not be the cleanest things going if at work? We are talking Corvette. not GMC. My hands are usually clean when I drive my car. I've had many cars over that mileage and the steering wheel sure doesn't look like I used sandpaper on it while driving.
Just my thoughts,

I am sorry to say that's also a piece of crap truck. Look at that interior! The horn panel doesn't even match the steering wheel in color and everything looks like a kids lego kit. So symptomatic of the shitty interior quality of American cars till very recently. Makes you appreciate how far the C7 brought the brand upscale.

My wife gave me some beautiful driving gloves . . . so of course I wear them . But only when it's cold and I simply want warmer hands.

I have never used driving gloves but I still wouldn't beat up on the OP for using them.
Right up until I got a car that had one, I thought a heated steering wheel was a gimmick for wusses. But oh my goodness, it is nice for old stiff hands! If the next model of Corvette has one I might just trade up.
