    I agree. kung nasa pinas.odd tingnan kung car dala mo.unless motorcycle or very sensitive talaga yung kamay mo sa manibela. sa ibang bansa na may winter, ordinary lang yung mag gloves lalo nat hindi gaano malakas heater ng sasakyan mo.

You're constantly battling to keep the truck straight on the road.

    But a car...... Gee, my 06 Hyundai Sonata is a big and heavy car. But I can drive it with one right thumb and index finger on the steering wheel while my left arm is draped over the open window and me trying to look cool.

    My chances of getting blisters are far greater handling exercise machines in the gym.

    if you hold your steering wheel properly while driving, not with one finger hehehe, you'll develop kalyo (not blisters --> paltos). i think it is not really with turning the steering wheel that you develop those kalyo. it is with constantly holding the steering wheel that causes the skin on your inner hand to pack together tightly for a period of time. so even if we have power steering we can still develop kalyo or callus.

    Nope... I drive for more than 3 hours a day a yet I don't have blisters on my hand. I grip my steering wheel properly too to boot (10 & 2 o'clock position for me).

    No, I don't.

    But there was this one time that I did wear expensive leather gloves. It made me feel like a Nascar driver, and I don't know why...feeling lang ha, kasi I drive like grandma, hehehe

    why would wearing gloves improve hygiene? particularly if you always drive your own car? aren't the dark, sweaty, tight confines of gloves breeding grounds for bacteria...and why would you be grossed out to touch your own car?

    if you've got sweaty palms maybe you should consider wearing gloves because the acid from your sweat may damage the leather of your steering wheel. daming kasong ganyan kaya ultimately they end up re-upholstering their SWs eventually
