What I gathered from that video.............
Your first clue how that video would play out began when
he fumbled and complained about the ignition key for almost
a minute. That's amateurish and dumb to put on camera.
Video guy apparently never met a sandwich he didn't like
and henceforth must have Hobbit feet. We all know Cobra
pedal positions do not play well with Sasquatch footed drivers.
So, reviewer elects to roll in stocking feet (which is retarded)
instead of investing in proper slim profile driving shoes.
The Sparco SL-17 makes for a comfortable $100 driving shoe.

Just a thought, would a set of carpet+rubber backed pattern
made floor mats from Cocomats.com help alleviate the heat issue
and provide a thermal barrier?
