My mother taught me to drive on a manual transmission 20 years ago and would routinely make me park on the steepest hills we could find and then take off again. This hill new assist stuff is ridiculous.

Never use the handbrake, it's a bad habit to get into and you'll never learn to really use a clutch.

Hold the brake with the inside of your right foot, roll your ankle and rev the engine witht he outside of the right foot- it's the same way you heel and toe shift to blip the throttle. Use the clutch with your left foot and roll off the brake as you roll on the gas smoothly.

That said, WTF is with that hill in SF? I think I'd have to use my handbrake there, that's ridiculous.
