Good things to know:

1) you don't have to shift into first gear before you come to a complete stop, but

2) you do still have to press down the clutch.

And so of course there were several oh dear god the car is rolling away dad how to I make it move forward AHHHH! it stalled moments.

Press the clutch, turn the key, oh god it's rolling backward again! (stall)
Press the clutch, turn the key, foot on the brake

-switch to the gas at hyperspeed!-
