On the way back, I hit a good amount of traffic, and boy oh boy, when you don't have the hang of manual, stop and go traffic on the highway suuuucks! Shift up and down, up and down, up and down. But, I made it there and back, with no stalls!
Fantastic - yeah I remember the stresses of driving it in stop-and-go situations. I promise you with time, you won't think about it much at all and you just get used to stop-and-go and modulating the clutch
