Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

This might sound like a trivial problem, but I've now got two pair of fairly expensive dress shoes that have picked up deep scuff marks on the tops of the left toe caps. I can't figure out where this is comming from but the P-car is a prime suspect. Anyone else have this or have it figure out?
No...but I get black heels on my right shoe form I guess the mat rubbing off on my accelerator shoe. By and large these cars tend to do a number on footwear.
Could be the clutch. Take a look at how your foot is postioned on the clutch when you depress.
That would be an easy one Eric, but its a tip, so its something more insideous than that.
Jeff, I suffer from the same thing. It's not the clutch pedal but your shoe rubbing against something in that area. I bet you have large feet, size 12 ballpark?
That's close but the scratches go back about an inch over the top of the shoe so it looks like it would affect pretty much anyone.
A Ducati 996 would do that when you upshift. Try driving in socks or barefoot and see if you can feel it.
Nick, I think you're onto something... I'm not buying any more shoes untill I figure this out so bloody toe or not I'm going to get to the bottom of it this weekend.
Remember not to put yourself in a position where you have to brake extra hard without shoes on! I kick off thongs a lot to drive in the Summer and sometimes forget, believe me that will get your attention (why I never did metal pedals). FWIW I am size 13 and have not had the issue you describe, bit of a shoe enthusiast (freak, according to my wife) and I would be similarly alarmed.
My feet always scrape against the speaker grill in the lower part of the door. Although since I usually wear sneakers, it's the grill that gets scratched!
You said you are considering other things that may be the cause. Have remembered every time you have kicked a** and taken names lately??
Mystery solved. Its the plastic frame holding the diagnostic plug-in under the left side of the dash. It had me puzzeled because when you are driving the car its nowhere near your foot, but the toe of your shoe brushes right by it when getting in and out. Easy thing to file down, I just wish I figured it out after my first pair of Allen Edmonds Lauderdales bit the dust on it.
ouch. Tough way to find a rough edge.
Ahh, glad you solved it. Now I am going to worry about it all the time, but thanks.
