I have the weirdest boner right now

They should have painted one like the F&F one...then I found this while googling...not sure what to think now..

I drive a manual daily, and I heel-and-toe every time.  To me, the idea of driving one way on the street and one way on the track doesn’t make sense, for the exact reason you mention -- I have enough to think about on track without shifting differently.  In my opinion a person who does not daily a manual car is
