My pedals were ice cold when I got in the car, so I kept my socks on, but since it was so dry my feet were clearly moving around too much inside my socks.

Either way, I heard back from the shop, and they got the go ahead from my insurance to go ahead and fix it. Although they said to make sure claims has a note regarding the fact that my MAF housing was in a million pieces and there is a good chance some of them ended up in the engine.

You must have tough feet. I moved my car about 10 yards in bare feet once and those bloody pedals hurt!

I think the pedals in my Z06 toughened them up, those things had teeth/edges that could straight gash you if you hit them the wrong way.

There are worse things than bare feet for driving

Just ignore the guys giving you shit. You screwed up. You admitted you screwed up. You didn't try to blame anybody else for the screw up. That goes a long way in my books.

I too drive with no shoes, mainly because I live in Florida and like to kick off the flipflops. Much easier to feel the clutch transition.

In the summer I also drive barefoot if I am wearing flip flops.

Once you get your car back you need to install some sort of heated covers on your pedals so you're not tempted to drive in socks again.
