[quote=Anonymous]Barefoot - In the “olden days”, the firewall and pan of the car were not well insulated and a lot of heat was produced. Bare feet on hot floors was not good. How hot? Ask someone how hot the seatbelt anchor bolts used to get. Or the transmission hump. Also, if there is something sharp in the brake and you hit it hard, you’ll pull your foot off when you need it most. Legs not on floor - The primary reason is safety. Not airbag or what happens in a crash, but your ability to react in an emergency. If something happens suddenly (like a tire blowing out at highway speed or a retread smashing your windshield) you simply will not have the same capability to maintain control if you’re sticking your foot on the dash or sitting cross-legged.
