I basically have to make full stops in my Honda, because its cold idle is kinda stupid. Once warmed, though, I either try to avoid stop signs, or only aim for a Hollywood stop if it's an uphill launch. Old Hondas like mine could probably be out-torqued by a bicycle, I still have trouble doing an uphill launch from rest.

I got popped for a Hollywood stop a few years ago. The fine wasn't huge, but why get a ticket when you don't need to?
