Andrew, Welcome to EM!

Do you have a manual or automatic tranny?
If you have a manual, see:
Clutch Starting an Engine
If you have the same commute every day, you can determine pretty well where the lights change that are on timers. I clutch start at every light except for 1 or 2 where I know I'm going to have to wait for more than 10 seconds.
