Warning to women MINI drivers...

Do not wear stilletto's while driving MINI... or be very careful of your foot placement.

I got my heel stuck in between the plastic side panel and the floorboard today on my way back from lunch and thought I was going to have to come to work missing one heel and Mrs. Skurvy would be donning a new purple accessory.

:impatient

Very bad... very bad...

Ouch!!! Yeah, bet those arent the best driving shoes! In fact, I can think of only one thing they are good for, but I guess they do that pretty well, so what the heck.

Oh what, so guys can't wear stillettos now? What the heck's happening to the community? What about the openness and tolerance that MINI folk were known for?



...



Wait, did I say that out loud?

Reminds me of a song I got in the last cd exchange, In These Shoes by Kirsty Mac Coll. I can't shift well in heels, it would be suicide for me and the MINI.

I'm sure I could acquire some for you if you'll really wear them...
I know a few drag queens...

If I'm wearing anything with a heel, I drive barefoot and put the shoes back on when I get out

LOL... I'd wear them to the Dragon if someone brought 'em. I'm like Dennis Rodman that way... very comfortable in my masculinity.

I tried driving in 3.5" Jimmy Choo's the other day...then all of a sudden I panicked thinking I might wreck the heels...immediately took them off and went barefoot. A girl has to have her priorities after all...

Excellent. Make sure you get lots of photos standing next to TFQON's MINI then as well. WHILE wearing the heels.

I like driving barefoot anyway, it feels more in touch with the car, and i think i have a wider foot then normal so wearing shoes, especially dress shoes can get a little complicated when i try to drive

I wear high heels all the time, my office is Business dress they don't required heels but all my suits and other outfits look better with heels.
Anyway one of my heels got stuck not long ago, since then I carry a pair of sandals and I changed shoes when I drive, is a pain but I rather do this than wreck my MINI

Then they must be Choos with a lower-case "c".

ok... so one evening I was shoe shopping at macy's. In walked a nicely dressed man. He sat down and tried on about 6 pairs of Stillettos. I do believe he bought 2 pair. I didn't know they sold them in size 12.
