I figured as long as i have to idle - i tried to let the out the clutch a little and let the idle move the car forward ( either in 1st or second). once i did get to decent working lights - then resumed normal driving style.
I kinda wish i had a scangage- this by far was the worst commute time i have had in the 3 years being in Atlanta.

Yeah, I find the best thing is to try to move the car without pressing on the accelerator pedal. All movement at a bare minimum. It's the only time I really regret not having a hybrid.
There was one time when my wife was in really bad traffic in Santa Monica. I told her to stop at a Marshalls and stay there until traffic let up. She told me that everyone else in the Marshals was on the cell phone DOING THE SAME THING. They had all given up and were waiting for the traffic to clear up.
