Yeah. I've put almost 1600 miles in it now. I'm going on a road trip next week from Virginia to Missouri, and then from Missouri to Minnesota and then back to Missouri and ultimately back to Virginia again over a 10-day period, so I'll get a lot of driving practice in. I'm just trying to get at least a decent handle on launch and hill starts before I go.

I'm actually pretty good at hill starts, with and without the e-brake (except the reverse issue that I mentioned earlier), but I'm still nervous as hell each time I have to do so when I'm around a lot of traffic.

Clutch friction control is definitely a challenge in first gear. Just today, I went through a spot-free car wash and when it was time for me to drive through the automatic dryer, which stays on for about 60 seconds, I went right through it in about 3... Learn as I go, I guess...lol
