Ok, I've read this whole thread carefully, and it's a total waste of time.
I want my money back. |

Other than all the reasons everyone else listed, the biggest reason not to do it is you piss every single other person on the road off - and if you piss enough people off, given enough time, the likelihood of getting shot trends toward certainty. Yes, it's bad for your car and dangerous, but it's also bad for keeping your chest hole free.
Driving behind someone who's brakelights are constantly on is just as bad as driving behind someone with no brake lights whatsoever. When (not if) you ride the brakes, if you have to emergency stop - you are going to be rear ended. |

I left foot brake when I'm rallying. I would not do it during regular driving just because how uncomfortable it is. All safety issues aside, you are basically squishing your manhood with your legs the whole time while twisted to the right. Its almost like sitting next to a fat guy on the bus.

Apparently a lot of trolls here have former Formula 1 drivers as their grandmothers... http://formula1-dictionary.net/left_foot_braking.html http://jalopnik.com/why-you-should-b...foot-434604934 This can not be stressed enough. This is not a decision to take lightly. You must commit to it and practice practice practice. Otherwise you will be a danger in panic situations if you approach it like an occasional fad. |

Now it feels very natural, and pretty comfortable. To commenters who expressed concern about my testicles: not sure why you are so interested, but they are doing great. |

On an unrelated note, looking to part out a '13 FR-S. Possible frame damage. Two wheels are perfect, the rears, as are the tail lamps...
