brake\gas peddle lever

at times my foot gets stuck between the center console and the brake peddle. I have to lay my foot on its side to drive without getting stuck. is there a mod that can be done to fix the brake peddle to be further away from the gas. I would hate to cut the console but if thats whats best then I'm SOL. I don't mind driving bear footed but its not fun on cold, snowy or wet weather.

Try taking off your diving fins before driving?

LOL Wow, thanks! My feet are not King Kong's feet, some of my shoes are wide at the bottom and they get stuck. When I wear my sneakers I don't have enough room to move my foot. I constantly bang my foot between the brake peddle and center console. Can the lever be swapped with a manual brake lever or should I just bend the side by the gas in to get the space?

I was too excited when I seen it to think about looking at the peddles! It's not a big bother but it would be nice to get some extra peddle space!

I just can't picture how you're managing to wedge your foot between the brake pedal and the center console, yet you're able to use the gas pedal just fine? I have 13w feet and don't have issues with space down there.

Take some pictures of your feet in a normal driving position (use the flash its dark down there).

Cause for real I have no idea how someone other than Shaq could get their shoes stuck like that.

Human Sasquatch?

haha jk... I guess you could hack off a piece of the pedal if you REALLY need to... Maybe you just sit too far forward and your foot of which you think is a straight on connection is angled somehow.

This, but someone of that size wouldn't be able to fit in the car. At 6'3", I barely fit in the car. Have about 1-1.5" of headroom, and with the seat all the way back, my legs are still fairly close to the dash.
