Are we really having a poll and thread of what we are wearing when driving a car … ?

The problem with the poll is the assumption that one wears the exact same clothes when driving this car. You should be allowed to vote for more than one choice

And we need options for Suit (Flameproof) and Suit (Flameproof - Commando). Clearly!

For the first week of ownership, I've been wearing gym clothing/ But when eventually required to wear clothes, I'll wear khakis. They're more comfortable and easier on the leather than jeans.

I didn't vote because I couldn't find a box to describe it . I'll explain . Normally I would have been alongside the 68 percent who chose jeans and T shirt but last year was an odd year . Keep in mind I live in Miami . One of the joys what most in cold climate might not have considered is that getting dressed is a job . I hate when it gets cold here . Shorts and a T shirt is perfect . If its a little chilly a long sleeve T shirt .

So last year was the onset of Covid and lockdown . I had never been a sedentary person but at first time swimming pool was closed . I lap swim daily for at least an hour . With that long period came a few extra pounds and it just happened to be in the winter . Thats when pants usually replace shorts but with the extra pounds I was afraid to find out if they fit or not. So I managed to get through the entire winter without them !! It was full time shorts .

The pool is now open so the pounds are gone but I really liked wearing shorts . I realized that even wearing pants was a pain . I haven't been to a restaurant . Before Covid I went but I live in Florida and the mask free unvaccinated crowd is not my gig . Sadly we quickly were the epicenter and then all the praise fir Fl being low was because the ones who got it either died or survived. with some immunity . The rest lived like hermits like me and once vaccinated I am still, cautious .

I swim , cook at home, and at night my wife and I both spend a lot of time rescuing and getting care for homeless and abandoned animals . So I wear gloves too often . Yeo I take my car to at least find the ones in need . They don't go in the 911 unless its urgent . We use the SUV (Macan) .

Its not much of.a wardrobe but iI am ok with it.

And @John Mclane I can't see myself wearing flip flops to drive my 992.

But I would have loved to score a pair of these limited edition Pumas along with the included keychain

What is the model name of this Puma's? Looks sweet. I have a few of the Porsche Legacy's from Puma, always looking to expand my collection.

I can't remember the name, but apparently they sold out in a few hours when they came out, which I think was Oct/Nov 2019. They were announced with a sale date and apparently snatched up immediately.

I think they are called the Future Rider or something.

My typical, predictable, boring daily driving attire is AE jeans, JCrew tshirt, JCrew hoodie or North Face fleece/shell, and Adidas Suedes. Fun fact, Adidas is a German company, founded by Adolph Dassler (“Adi”) the younger brother of Rudolph (Rudy) Dassler, the founder of Puma, another German company. I’m a connoisseur of Adidas and Puma suedes.

Mostly Merrell shoes... isn't that surprising? My wardrobe is outfitted as well with a T-shirt (wide variety of choice here) as well as a home knitted wool sweater, Carhartt double insulated work wear jacket or similar (again a choice of several designs and models rated to -50F), coupled with appropriately matched double insulated lined gloves and seaman hat.

To complement the event, I make sure I always have a set of flares, extra blanket an emergency flashlight/strobe, shovel and of course basic tools in the 992/Touareg/Macan.

Summer is of course different with Aloha shirt on Fridays, jeans and zoris (Japanese flip flops). I'm delaying the golf club events until I get older
