One day with that car and you'll have the manual figured out. And looking down the road the resale of the manual will be higher than that of the automatic.

Well you still have to wait for the car to stop completely before engaging reverse, unless you like grinding gears that is. A lot of people shift D-R, R-D at low speeds, not necessarily when stationary. (I always stop completely when driving a slush box, but I've observed others not doing so.) It's not necessarily much quicker parallel parking with a manual.
