I have driven manual and automatic cars and, obviously, the way you go from a full stop on a slope is different.
On a manual transmission, you apply the manual brake, accelerate enough for the hood of the car to "sink" then you release the brakes.
On an automatic transmission, the car stays where it is (doesn't go backwards), you just gently accelerate and you're good to go.
What is the procedure on a semi-automatic trike like the Spyder? I had this question on my mind for quite a while. If it is a silly question, at least I hope you had a good laugh about it.
