what happens if you just skipped first and started from the line in 2nd? Used to skip gears with my camaro all the time. I sorta wished I'd have held out for a manual... they just didn't have any on the lot with the options I wanted. Have you ever missed having the stabilitrak? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I do start off in 2nd gear frequently unless I'm on an incline ... I got lucky with mine, I called our HUMMER dealer and told them I wanted the H3 in yellow with the 5 speed manual ... they had one H3 in stock .. and it was yellow with the 5 speed

I'm not really sure what the differences are between traction control which mine has, and the stabilitrak.. I have driven in some snow and ice and it really "sticks" to the road.
