Im 6 2 and i love those knee pads. Without them my knee would be scraped from that joint. Also the driver seat is seperated down the center so it forces your legs apart. Im such a **** :-D

The knee pads help in side impact accidents also, if you have ever been hit from the side in a small sports car, your knees probably banged against the steering column, the middle console or both.

You should have seen all the $h!t talk I got on Elisetalk for defending the use of knee pads in the car when your knees get banged up on the side sill at the track. In the Elise, your left leg is right against the side sill, so it'll rub the side of the knee raw after a few sessions. Some one on that forum asked if it'd look silly to wear a knee pad, and everyone came down on him with endless bj jokes.
I even brought up the fact that racers use them, but they wouldn't hear of it.
Some guys have way too much testosterone.
