Tallahassee Drivers

Anyone here live in Tallahassee (or any other city with lots of hills) and drive an manual transmission?

Do all the hills ever get really annoying with a Manual?



I want to get a manual and I'm going to be living in/around Tally next year and I need to know if its going to be a problem like it seems it would be with the rolling back etc.

The hills in Tallahassee aren't as much of a problem as the narrow lanes are. Tenneessee Street (One of the main streets) is a normal two lane (Each direction) turned into a three lane road. You feel like your mirrors are going to get whacked off most of the time. As for the hills, you will get used to it. Just leave room between you and the car in front of you. If they have a manual and coast back a bit while engaging the clutch, they won't hit you.

I'm in Tallahassee and the roads suck! I dont have a manual, but in general I just hate the roads. Where are the other Proteges in Tallahassee? I havent seen many...
