2. Clutch in and select first, foot still on the brake
3. Swivel your ankle and use the other half of your right foot to give the car a little gas while keeping pressure on the brake (right foot is now on two pedals)
4. Begin to lift your clutch foot while maintaining the little pressure on the gas and slowly removing pressure from the brake until the clutch is engaged.

Notes:
- if you have small feet, turn your whole leg and foot so the heel of your foot is operating the brake and your toes are operating the gas (hence the name).
- it's an art to master it.....you bought a manual sports car, learn it.
- creeping is creeping and there's nothing you can do to not ride the clutch.
- if you get good at it, if you're on a flat road and someone is being a d*ck behind you at a light, the hill technique above lets you drag your brakes enough to keep your brake lights on as you leave the light and pull away from the aforementioned d*ck (at whatever speed is appropriate lol)...they are left sitting there without the cue of your brake lights turning off.
Fixed...
