That explains a lot.
I've owned two different cars and an F150 that were manual shift. That first time your sitting at an uphill stoplight hoping you don't roll backwards into the guy that is 6" behind you when you start again, can be a bit intimidating, but as Santana said, it becomes second nature even in stop and go traffic. When the right foot goes for the break, the left foot automatically starts for the clutch to begin downshifting.
