Glad I'm not alone. It's an awful feeling. Damn lucky I didn't cause an accident.

I am used to it. I did it for years and years.
It's not hard to drive a manual. In many situations it's easier, you have far better control with a clutch than without.
But when the car in front of me moves a meter and stops, I know I get angry honks if I don't do the same, and this goes on for hours, then I don't miss having a clutch. Then I pat myself on the shoulder and congratulate myself on getting the AT and having 200 hours of selected music in the USB port.

Might want to rethink that!

That's exactly what it means, and no matter how much I think about it, the vision will not improve on its own. With glasses though, it's 20/30. I can't get it to 20/20 because of a severe astigmatism in my right eye.
