Since I took the hit and started logging with Site Meter, I've found out a large chunk of traffic comes from people looking for instructions for operating automobiles wearing high heels. Or porn featuring women driving in heels. And while I wish I had the body and the Ferrari to fulfill those fantasies, it ain't gonna happen. Like ever.

But how to drive in heels? That I can do.

So cue the brass horns, because I'm about to unleash my knowledge.


Before you get into the car, a word. Anything over a four inch heel's just unwieldy. Seriously. Throw a pair of Chucks in your trunk and suck it up.

The shoe:



Okay, this is a simple matter of physics. Your foot's a level, your pedal's another lever and your heel acts as the fulcrum. So, when you're first engaging the clutch (because we've all upgraded to the big girl cars), you're resting your weight on the length of the back of the heel.



When the clutch is fully engaged, you've shifted the weight forward and the heel is perpendicular to the floor.

It then becomes a matter of shifting forwards and backwards, not unlike driving in a flat shoe. It's so seriously easy.

Tah-dah! I have now passed on the sum of my educational experience at UNM on to you, the consumer. And I'm not joking about that.

(Real blog entry might be coming up later.)
