I kind of wonder about the motives for the folks who insist on a stick nowadays. Is it more fun, more control? Is there an image thing, or tradition? Not judging or criticizing, just curious.
I learned on a stick, in the mountains of TN. It's fun, probably the number one reason for me. It's muscle memory, drove sticks my whole life. Automatics make me almost fly through the windshield when I brake, never liked them. I only drove one (the car I was in before I got the Jeep). Also, and not something that will probably ever happen again in my life (but happened plenty on the crappy Honda Civic I learned to drive on around 1980), you can push start the car if it's dead as a doorknob. Just as long as you're not pointed uphill lol.

I suppose my comment was about as clear as Los Angeles air. I meant off-road, where I've heard of people being ridiculed for using low range!
So far I have not met anyone with that attitude. I can't imagine I'd go wheel with someone like that willingly either.

That's actually what they teach in the UK for beginner drivers, except they want you to do it even on a flat road. I can see Hill Start Assist being helpful in this situation as well, but does the hand brake work better?
My 2020 Civic has HSA, and that's an invention that beats sliced bread. The car has an electric parking brake, so no handbrake hijinks anyhow. But the EPB releases automatically, So it can be engaged and thereafter ignored if stopped on a hill.

But the electric parking brake doesn't automatically release if your seatbelt isn't connected. So I stop at the dumpster at work to toss in a trash bag, get back in the car to drive around to the parking area, and start dragging the rear tires. And then the seatbelt nanny starts dinging. First world problems.

Bouncher? Saraha? Renagade? Is this a word find or a spelling test?

This is in the alleyway behind a rowhouse. You need to creep because anything more than 5mph will take you into a wall. HSA doesn't work too well when you need to take your time I find.
