Garage
Heck... I still stall it reversing in to the garage sometimes, and I've only owned one auto (for ~4 years) since '94 when I got my license finally. Prior to getting the license I would drive the tiny RWD Toyota pickup we had around the parking lot, just practicing starts.



It takes practice. I find being able to hear things helps me so I usually turn the music off now when I'm backing into the garage. And the tip about keeping your heel on the floor works, not because of friction, but because it isolates the large muscle groups (which don't have much finesse) and you only use small muscle groups (which do).
