Naw, plenty of n00bs drive BMWs. What % actually drive a manual? Like 11%? Yea.
FWIW, any time you use the clutch you are using the clutch. A clutch is a wearing item in your drive train; it just happens to also be the most expensive wearing item in the car. I prefer to use the brakes because like the clutch, the brakes are a wearing item, however they are a heck of a lot cheaper to replace, even accounting for longevity. When coming to a stop, depress the clutch, modulate the brakes, come to a complete stop. Release the clutch into 1st gear when it is time to proceed. QED.
